AWS deadline-cloud documentation change

Service: deadline-cloud · 2025-04-23 · Documentation low

File: deadline-cloud/latest/userguide/define-the-farm.md

Summary

Moved encryption settings and tags to optional sections, simplified farm description guidance, and added group/user management step.

Security assessment

The change restructures existing encryption documentation but does not introduce new security features or address specific vulnerabilities. Encryption with AWS-managed keys remains the default, and the update is organizational rather than security-focused.
