AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Updated Snow Family documentation to replace references to Snowball Edge with Snowcone as the smallest device, maintaining security and encryption details
Security assessment
Change involves product name updates and device specifications without introducing new security information or addressing vulnerabilities. Security mentions (ruggedized, encryption layers) were already present in previous version.
