AWS marketplace: Connector overview: adds procurement connector and credential-encryption wording
Summary
Editorial and content update to the AWS Marketplace Storefront connector overview: adds a third connector category (procurement catalog connectors) with the Amazon Business connector, notes that the Amazon Business connector uses API credentials and is bound to a single storefront, and rewords the statement about connector credential storage to explicitly say AWS Marketplace Storefront encrypts connector credentials. Other changes are stylistic rewording of existing guidance.
Security assessment
The only security-relevant content is the reworded statement that connector credentials are encrypted at rest by AWS Marketplace Storefront, plus the note that the Amazon Business connector requires entering API credentials. This documents a credential-protection practice but does not reference any specific vulnerability, CVE, or incident, so it is security documentation rather than a fix.
Evidence
+ * AWS Marketplace Storefront encrypts connector credentials and stores them securely.
