AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Restructured documentation with clearer section organization, added detailed verification steps for different product types (AMI/SaaS/ML), emphasized contract term review, and included troubleshooting guidance for 404 errors
Security assessment
Changes focus on improving documentation clarity and subscription workflow rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. The 404 error note helps prevent accidental access issues but doesn't mitigate a security flaw. Added emphasis on verifying terms/pricing improves contractual accuracy but doesn't introduce new security controls.
