AWS drs documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation for adding custom post-launch actions in AWS DRS. Changes include grammatical improvements, structural reorganization of parameter descriptions, removal of an image reference, and clarification of action execution behavior.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve documentation clarity and structure. While the 'security' category is listed as an option, this appears to be an existing feature rather than a new security-related addition. No specific security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security controls are introduced. The parameter descriptions (e.g., SSM document version selection) mention operational aspects but don't explicitly discuss security implications.
