AWS mgn documentation change

Service: mgn · 2025-03-26 · Documentation low

File: mgn/latest/ug/installing-vcenter-appliance-mgn.md

Summary

Multiple wording changes replacing 'the following' with 'these' in requirements and permissions sections, and minor formatting adjustments in command/flag documentation

Security assessment

Changes are grammatical improvements and phrasing simplifications. While some sections discuss security practices (like permissions and update responsibilities), the edits don't introduce new security content or address vulnerabilities.
