AWS deadline-cloud medium security documentation change

Service: deadline-cloud · 2025-04-23 · Security-related medium

File: deadline-cloud/latest/userguide/define-fleet.md

Summary

Restructured fleet configuration steps, updated instance market terminology, moved service role and tag settings to optional sections, and adjusted section headers.

Security assessment

The change emphasizes creating a new service role for each fleet to write to CloudWatch, which enforces the principle of least privilege. This is a security best practice to minimize over-permissive roles, directly addressing access control.
