AWS omics documentation change

Service: omics · 2026-03-25 · Documentation low

File: omics/latest/dev/setting-up-new.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace 'Amazon Q CLI' with 'Kiro CLI' and added a new section 'Using Kiro IDE with HealthOmics' with links to Kiro Power and Kiro IDE extension.

Security assessment

This change continues the rebranding from Amazon Q to Kiro, adding documentation for a new IDE integration. While the change mentions configuring IAM permissions, this is standard setup guidance rather than addressing a security issue. No security vulnerabilities or incidents are referenced in the diff.
