AWS cognito: Cognito intro: fix relative links, grammar, and capitalization

Service: cognito · 2026-10-21 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/what-is-amazon-cognito.md

Summary

Replaced absolute docs.aws.amazon.com URLs with relative links (cognito-scenarios.html, security-cognito-regional-data-considerations.html), corrected 'it issues' to 'they issue', and capitalized 'Regions'. No substantive content change.

Security assessment

The only edits are link normalization and copyediting; the shared-responsibility sentence is unchanged in substance, so there is no new security guidance or vulnerability fix.

Evidence
