AWS appconfig documentation change
Summary
Updated URL formatting in documentation links and added new section recommending temporary credentials for programmatic access with CLI/SDK guidance.
Security assessment
The change emphasizes using temporary credentials (security best practice) over long-term credentials, which improves security posture but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. Added documentation promotes secure authentication methods.
