AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Updated references from 'Snowball' to 'Snowball Edge' in AWS Snow Family documentation, correcting product names and ensuring consistency in descriptions of data transfer devices.
Security assessment
Changes involve product name corrections (Snowball → Snowball Edge) and consistency updates. Security mentions (AES-256 encryption, key management) were already present and not modified beyond product name alignment. No evidence of addressing a security vulnerability.
