AWS autoscaling documentation change

Service: autoscaling · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Removed IAM PassRole policy example for Auto Scaling service roles

Security assessment

The deletion of a service role policy example reduces documentation completeness but does not indicate a security vulnerability. The example was security-related but its removal does not address a specific security issue.
