AWS kinesisvideostreams documentation change
Summary
Entire documentation content removed including sections about authentication parameters (X-Amz-Algorithm, X-Amz-Credential, etc.) and security token usage.
Security assessment
Removal of authentication documentation doesn't indicate a security fix but rather content deletion. No evidence of vulnerability remediation.
