AWS IAM documentation change

Service: IAM · 2026-06-16 · Documentation low

File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/iam_example_iam_CreateRole_section.md

Summary

Updated titles of linked examples to use more generic terminology (e.g., 'Lambda' to 'serverless', 'EC2' to 'virtual machine', 'Secrets Manager' to 'secure secret storage')

Security assessment

Changes are purely terminological updates without security implications. Renaming 'Secrets Manager' to 'secure secret storage' describes the same security feature without adding new security documentation or addressing vulnerabilities.
