AWS mediapackage documentation change
Summary
Updated instructions for excluding session keys in DRM settings to specify two methods: entering 'aws.drmsettings=exclude_session_keys' in manifest filters or clicking 'Exclude session keys' button
Security assessment
This change provides clearer instructions for configuring DRM session key exclusion, which is a security feature for content protection. The update clarifies the exact syntax for the manifest filter method and mentions the UI button alternative. This is documentation improvement for a security feature, but no security vulnerability or incident is addressed.
