AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to use 'PO' abbreviation consistently, restructured sections for clarity, added steps for adding POs during transactions, and clarified blanket-usage PO processes.
Security assessment
Changes focus on terminology standardization and procedural clarifications. While the service-linked role setup is mentioned, there's no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability or introducing new security controls. Updates improve documentation flow but don't directly relate to security vulnerabilities or security feature enhancements.
