Summary

Corrected IAM policy ARN strings in multiple commands by replacing placeholder syntax with valid ARN formats

Security assessment

The changes fix documentation errors in policy ARN formats but do not address any specific security vulnerability. The corrections ensure proper IAM policy attachment for EKS add-ons, preventing potential misconfiguration issues. However, there's no evidence of a security incident being remediated.
