Service: cognito · 2026-10-09 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/getting-started-identity-pools-application.md

Summary

Updates the stated Python prerequisite from 3.8 to 3.11 and renames a navigation entry from 'Additional getting started options' to 'Security'.

Security assessment

Raising the minimum Python version is a routine prerequisite update (older runtimes are deprecated) and the other change is a nav label rename; no specific vulnerability, CVE, or security control is described.

Evidence

+  * Python 3.11 or later installed on your development machine.
