Summary

Minor formatting changes (e.g., 'AWS Account' to 'AWS account'), code formatting adjustments, and typo fixes. No functional changes to security practices.

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic (capitalization, markdown formatting) and do not alter security guidance. Existing IAM role recommendations remain unchanged. No evidence of security vulnerability fixes or new security features documented.
