AWS athena documentation change

Service: athena · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: athena/latest/ug/connectors-redshift.md

Summary

Added clarification about Lambda environment properties and updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' in multiple sections

Security assessment

The changes are primarily terminology updates and clarifications about when Lambda environment properties apply. The requirement to use AWS Secrets Manager was already present in the previous version, and the change only clarifies the type of connection. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability.
