AWS AWSEC2 documentation change
Summary
Restructured AMI finding documentation with consolidated console instructions, added verified provider filtering guidance, and updated CLI/PowerShell examples
Security assessment
Added emphasis on 'Verified provider' filtering to identify trusted AMI sources, which improves security awareness but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. No evidence of patching a security issue.
