AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Removed documentation about Association Dispatch Assume Role configuration and service-linked role deprecation notice
Security assessment
The change deletes guidance about IAM role configuration and deprecation warnings for service-linked roles. While this content was security-adjacent (IAM roles), removal doesn't indicate a security issue. No vulnerability or incident is referenced, and the deletion appears to be documentation simplification rather than security remediation.
