AWS code-library documentation change

Service: code-library · 2025-10-19 · Documentation low

File: code-library/latest/ug/java_2_ssm_code_examples.md

Summary

Modified SSM code example to use CloudFormation for EC2 instance creation, removed manual instanceId input, and updated region settings.

Security assessment

The changes improve code reliability by automating resource creation but do not address security vulnerabilities or document security features. The region change (US_EAST_1 to US_WEST_2) has no direct security implications.
