AWS macie documentation change

Service: macie · 2025-08-10 · Documentation low

File: macie/latest/user/discovery-results-repository-s3.md

Summary

Updated documentation to specify 'us-east-1' region in ARN examples, clarify region references, and improve code formatting

Security assessment

Changes primarily involve updating region placeholders to concrete examples (us-east-1) and formatting improvements (backticks around * wildcard). While KMS key configuration is security-related, these changes represent documentation clarifications rather than addressing specific vulnerabilities. No evidence of patching security flaws or disclosing new security features.
