AWS amazondynamodb documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links to include double slashes in URLs and added a new recommended section about using temporary credentials for programmatic access.
Security assessment
The change promotes security best practices by recommending temporary credentials over long-term credentials, but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. The URL formatting corrections are non-security related.
