AWS systems-manager: Reorganize Cloud Connector TOC and add IAM roles page link

Service: systems-manager · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: systems-manager/latest/userguide/systems-manager-cloud-connector.md

Summary

Restructures the Cloud Connector table of contents, renames/removes several topic links, adds a new link to 'IAM roles created by the Systems Manager console' and 'Tags applied to managed instances', and adds a note recommending the console wizard over the CLI.

Security assessment

The change is primarily a navigation/TOC reorganization for the Cloud Connector docs. The only security-adjacent element is a new link to a page about IAM roles created by the console, but no IAM policy, permission, or vulnerability content is added or changed in this diff.
