AWS eks documentation change

Service: eks · 2025-10-19 · Documentation low

File: eks/latest/userguide/hybrid-nodes-creds.md

Summary

Replaced placeholder values (AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCOUNT_ID, TRUST_ANCHOR_ARN) with concrete examples

Security assessment

Hardcoding example values (e.g., '123456789012') improves clarity but does not address a security flaw. Risk of misconfiguration if users copy examples without substitution, but no direct vulnerability fix.
