AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Updated button labels from 'Terminate' to 'Terminate session' in Session Manager documentation for consistency with console interface
Security assessment
This change only updates UI terminology for consistency. No security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents are mentioned. The change maintains the same security guidance about explicitly terminating sessions to prevent lingering active sessions.
