AWS evs documentation change

Service: evs · 2025-09-19 · Documentation low

File: evs/latest/userguide/using-service-linked-roles.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'Amazon EVS' to '{evws}' and 'AWS' to '{aws}' throughout the document, including placeholders for console/CLI references. No functional changes to service-linked role behavior.

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic, replacing service names with placeholders/variables. There are no modifications to security policies, permissions, or procedures. The security implications of service-linked roles (e.g., predefined permissions, deletion safeguards) remain unchanged from the previous documentation.
