AWS AWSSimpleQueueService documentation change
Summary
Restructured setup documentation: removed IAM/programmatic access details, simplified to AWS account signup and example code preparation
Security assessment
Removal of IAM/programmatic access guidance could reduce security awareness, but no evidence of security vulnerability being addressed. Change appears organizational rather than security-focused.
