AWS drs documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation for disk settings with clearer step-by-step instructions, removed image references, and clarified EBS volume selection logic for AUTO mode
Security assessment
Changes focus on improving clarity of existing features (EBS volume selection, replication server usage) and documentation structure. No new security-related content was added, and existing security mentions (marketplace license permissions) remain unchanged except for minor tense adjustments ('will fail' to 'fails').
