Summary

Expanded documentation for creating private workflows with prerequisites like ECR images and security group requirements

Security assessment

The changes provide implementation details for private workflows but do not explicitly address security vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. Mentions of ECR repositories relate to standard infrastructure setup rather than security documentation.

-Creates a workflow.
+Creates a private workflow.Private workflows depend on a variety of resources that you create and configure before creating the workflow:
+
+  * _Input data_ : Input data for the workflow, stored in an S3 bucket or a AWS HealthOmics sequence store. 
+
+  * _Workflow definition files_ : Define your workflow in one or more workflow definition files, written in WDL, Nextflow, or CWL. The workflow definition specifies the inputs and outputs for runs that use the workflow. It also includes specifications for the runs and run tasks for your workflow, including compute and memory requirements.
+
+  * _Parameter template files_ : Define run parameters using a parameter template file (written in JSON). 
+
+  * _ECR container images_ : Create one or more container images for the workflow. Store the images in a private ECR repository.
+
+  * (Optional) _Sentieon licenses_ : Request a Sentieon license if you plan to use Sentieon software in a private workflow.
