AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links to AWS IAM Identity Center and added new section recommending temporary credentials over long-term credentials for programmatic access. Fixed URL formatting by adding double slashes in paths.
Security assessment
The change promotes security best practices by recommending temporary credentials (which reduce exposure from long-term keys) but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. The URL fixes are formatting corrections without security implications.
