Do we have these directories in the spec/will we? If not, should we link to something else here?
This applies to this doc page and others in this PR.

Also, for master_key_provider not all implementations support this.
We may want to try and remove it?

Might be good to link to AWS docs (for ARN)? Either way, might also be good to note if this can be an alias ARN.

Or a link to the KMS examples?
We don't want any given example
to be so complete that it tries to explain everything.

This applies here and in other documents in this PR.
I think this path isn't resolving properly.

I think these might just need to be

doh; that is correct; I copy-pasted that from the raw keyring examples and they have at least one extra directory layer x_x

If the "default algorithm suite" ever changes, how are we going to find all these places to update them?

Some of this language is getting copy/paste.
Not a blocker, but in the long run, some more tokenization may be in order.

Yup, I think that this is so language specific,
that maybe nothing is better?
(in the long run :) no need to block )

I like the idea here,
but maybe a little more complicated example?
Like why are we doing this?
Is the idea like a proxy where
you take a network socket and decrypt
it on the fly and send it to some back end server?

Description of changes:
NOTE: The specific Python code in these templates will change before keyrings are released. I suggest that either we hold this in limbo until those changes are finalized or we update the code in the template when we come back to update links from the keyring branch to the master branch.
