AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Restructured Glue connections section, removed legacy connections, and added security notes about AWS Secrets Manager and connection schema version constraints.
Security assessment
The update emphasizes using AWS Secrets Manager for credentials and removes legacy connection methods, but does not reference a specific security incident. This strengthens security documentation by promoting secure credential practices.
