-      remediation: |
-        The following are more secure alternatives for configuring the AWS provider:
-
-        __Environment Variables__
-        You can provide your credentials via the `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables representing your AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Key, respectively. Note that setting your AWS credentials using either these (or legacy) environment variables will override the use of `AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE` and `AWS_PROFILE`. The `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variables are also used, if applicable:
-
-        ```bash
-        $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="an_accesskey"
-        $ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="a_secretkey"
-        $ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-west-2"
-        $ terraform plan
-        ```
-
-        ```hcl
-        provider "aws" {}
-        ```
-
-        __Assumed Role__
-        If provided with a role ARN, Terraform will attempt to assume this role using the supplied credentials.
-
-        ```hcl
-        provider "aws" {
-          assume_role {
-            role_arn     = "arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_ID:role/ROLE_NAME"
-            session_name = "SESSION_NAME"
-            external_id  = "EXTERNAL_ID"
-          }
-        }
-        ```
