AWS location documentation change
Summary
Added a new documentation index page for Amazon Location Service with overview sections for Maps, Places, Routes, Geofences, Trackers, Authentication, Developer Tools, Best Practices, Integrations, Security, and various resources.
Security assessment
This change adds a new documentation index page that includes sections on Authentication and Security, providing links to security-related documentation such as authentication methods (API keys, IAM roles, Cognito) and security best practices. However, there is no evidence that this change addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident; it appears to be a routine documentation addition for a service overview page.
