AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Clarified amendment processes, added restrictions on future-dated amendments, and updated terminology for consistency
Security assessment
Changes focus on procedural clarifications (e.g., currency requirements for partners) and technical restrictions (no future start dates for amendments). While there's a recommendation to avoid PII in offer names, this is a pre-existing security best practice reinforcement rather than addressing a new vulnerability.
