AWS AmazonElastiCache documentation change

Service: AmazonElastiCache · 2025-11-22 · Documentation medium

File: AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/set-up.md

Summary

Updated documentation links with corrected URL formatting (added double slashes after domain) and added new section recommending temporary credentials for programmatic access via AWS CLI/SDKs

Security assessment

The change adds a recommended security practice to use temporary credentials instead of long-term credentials for programmatic access, which improves security posture but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. URL corrections are formatting fixes without security implications.
