AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Updated Python version requirement from 2.6.5/3.3+ to 3.10+ and example command using Python 3.11 instead of 3.8
Security assessment
The change updates dependency requirements but does not explicitly reference a security vulnerability. Python 2.x end-of-life is well-known, but the diff lacks direct evidence this was changed to address a specific security issue.
