+Trait summary
+    The ``aws.auth#sigv4a`` trait adds support for AWS Signature Version 4
+    Asymmetric (SigV4A), an extension of `AWS signature version 4`_ (SigV4), to
+    a service. SigV4A is nearly identical to SigV4, but also uses public-private
+    keys and asymmetric cryptographic signatures for every request. Most
+    notably, SigV4A supports signatures for multi-Region API requests.
+Trait selector
+    ``service[trait|aws.auth#sigv4]``
