AWS iot documentation change

Service: iot · 2026-05-04 · Documentation low

File: iot/latest/developerguide/example_iot_GettingStarted_079_section.md

Summary

Added resource tagging commands for IAM roles, IoT audit tasks, mitigation actions, and SNS topics

Security assessment

Added tags improve resource management but don't address security vulnerabilities or document security features. Tags serve organizational purposes (project/tutorial tracking) without security enforcement implications.
