AWS location documentation change

Service: location · 2025-12-07 · Documentation low

File: location/latest/developerguide/encryption-at-rest.md

Summary

Updated documentation links for tracker resources and geofence collections to point to dedicated pages instead of anchor links within geometry-components.html. Fixed URL formatting for cryptographic details links by removing double slashes.

Security assessment

The changes involve documentation link corrections and formatting improvements. While encryption context and KMS grants are security-related topics, the modifications don't introduce new security information or address vulnerabilities - they simply improve link accuracy and readability.
