AWS bedrock documentation change

Service: bedrock · 2025-08-13 · Documentation low

File: bedrock/latest/userguide/getting-started-api-keys.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'IAM identity' to 'IAM principal' with link to IAM documentation in sign-in instructions

Security assessment

The change clarifies IAM terminology but does not address a specific security vulnerability or introduce new security features. It improves documentation accuracy by using the correct IAM concept (principal) with a reference link.
