AWS lightsail documentation change
Summary
Added AWS_REGION environment variable setup, clarified chmod command formatting, and changed rm command flags
Security assessment
The change adds environment variable setup and formatting improvements but does not address security vulnerabilities. The chmod clarification reinforces existing security practices but doesn't introduce new security content. The rm flag change (-f to plain rm) is a minor syntax adjustment without security implications.
