AWS data-exchange documentation change

Service: data-exchange · 2025-11-22 · Documentation medium

File: data-exchange/latest/userguide/data-grant-publish-s3-data-access-product.md

Summary

Updated documentation links with corrected URL formatting (added double slashes) and added new guidance for using console credentials as temporary credentials for programmatic access via CLI/SDKs

Security assessment

The change promotes security best practices by emphasizing temporary credentials over long-term credentials, but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. The URL corrections are routine maintenance.
