File: solutions/latest/automated-forensics-orchestrator-for-amazon-ec2/disk-forensics-acquisition-workflow.md

Summary

Removed image line break and condensed numbered list into a continuous paragraph with step descriptions. Updated workflow formatting but maintained same technical content.

Security assessment

The changes are formatting/structural (removing line breaks, consolidating steps) without introducing new security-related content. The existing security aspects (KMS key usage, snapshot protection) were already documented prior to this change.
