Summary
Updated terminology from 'AWS Directory Service' to 'Directory Service' in multiple instances and clarified credential storage details
Security assessment
Changes are branding/terminology updates rather than security fixes. The mention of credential storage security remains unchanged in substance. No vulnerabilities or security improvements are addressed.
