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