AWS iot: Fix IAM role link anchor in Kafka rule action doc

Service: iot · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: iot/latest/developerguide/apache-kafka-rule-action.md

Summary

Updated the 'Granting an AWS IoT rule the access it requires' link to point to the specific #iot-create-role-iam anchor.

Security assessment

Only the hyperlink fragment was changed to target a specific anchor; the surrounding IAM permission text is unchanged, so this is a non-security documentation fix.

Evidence

+  * An IAM role that AWS IoT can assume to perform the `ec2:CreateNetworkInterface`, `ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces`, `ec2:CreateNetworkInterfacePermission`, `ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface`, `ec2:DescribeSubnets`, `ec2:DescribeVpcs`, `ec2:DescribeVpcAttribute`, and `ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups` operations. This role creates and manages elastic network interfaces to your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud to reach your Kafka broker.
