AWS emr documentation change

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

File: emr/latest/EMR-Serverless-UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.md

Summary

Revised phrasing for consistency (e.g., 'see' to 'refer to'), minor grammatical edits, and clarified instructions for deleting service-linked roles.

Security assessment

Changes focus on documentation clarity and consistency, not addressing security vulnerabilities. While service-linked roles relate to security, the edits do not introduce new security features or address explicit vulnerabilities. The deletion instruction clarification reinforces existing best practices but does not indicate a resolved security flaw.
