AWS timestream documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links with corrected URL paths (added double slashes) and added new section recommending temporary credentials for programmatic access
Security assessment
The change promotes security best practices by recommending temporary credentials over long-term IAM credentials, but does not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. The URL corrections are documentation fixes without security implications.
