Summary

Added detailed procedures for deleting multi-tenant distributions and distribution tenants, including prerequisite tenant removal steps

Security assessment

The changes introduce operational procedures for managing multi-tenant resources but do not address security vulnerabilities or describe security features. The tenant removal requirement appears to be a prerequisite for proper resource cleanup rather than a security control.
