Description

### Describe your use-case which is not covered by existing documentation.

I want to automatically rotate our credentials on a regular basis.
Therefore the corresponding infrastructure exists to perform this change in AWS, but the credentials should be also updated in Jenkins.
I am not able to find a way to perform the credentials change in jenkins in an automated way.

Could you please add a part of the documentation which explains how/which requests to trigger?
Thank you

Research direction

Start by locating the aws-credentials-plugin documentation and the Jenkins credential-management entry points relevant to AWS credentials. Determine which requests support updating credentials and document the required workflow for automated rotation from AWS, including what a successful update looks like.
