Service: directoryservice · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/step4_test_ec2_access.md

Summary

Updated documentation links and terminology (removed redundant 'AWS' prefix from Directory Service references)

Security assessment

Changes involve URL formatting fixes (double slash correction) and branding updates ('AWS Directory Service' to 'Directory Service'). No security vulnerabilities, permissions changes, or security guidance modifications were introduced. The IAM policy references remain unchanged in substance.
