Summary

Updated Oracle Database@AWS setup instructions with detailed OCI account activation steps and console navigation guidance

Security assessment

The changes clarify activation procedures and user interface navigation but do not address security vulnerabilities or introduce security features. The mention of dashboard disablement during activation is operational, not security-related.
