Summary

Added documentation for S3 Vectors integration including KMS encryption options and metadata security constraints

Security assessment

Introduces security-related documentation about KMS encryption configuration for vector stores and explicit metadata size limitations (40KB total with 2KB filterable). These are preventive security controls but don't address an existing vulnerability.

+
+###### Important
+
+The Amazon S3 Vectors integration with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases is in preview release and is subject to change.
+
+You can create a knowledge base for Amazon S3 Vectors in all AWS Regions where both Amazon Bedrock and Amazon S3 Vectors are available. For region availability information, see [Amazon S3 Vectors](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/s3-vectors.html) in the _Amazon S3 User Guide_.
+
+###### Note
+
+When Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases creates a vector index for you, it can attach up to a maximum of 40 KB of metadata for each vector. Within this 40 KB, up to a maximum of 2 KB can be used as filterable metadata.
+
+Amazon Bedrock will store the text in the non-filterable space as the `AMAZON_BEDROCK_TEXT` key. The metadata added by Amazon Bedrock is stored in the filterable metadata space. For more information about S3 vector bucket metadata limitations, see [Prerequisites for using Amazon S3 Vectors with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/knowledge-base-setup.html#knowledge-base-setup-s3).
