AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Added deprecation notice and expanded architecture section with security component details (AWS WAF, AWS Shield, security groups)
Security assessment
Changes document existing security features (WAF, Shield, security groups) but don't address specific vulnerabilities. The deprecation notice indicates outdated content rather than security fixes.
