AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Added documentation about AMI scanning capabilities when adding new versions and testing. Corrected capitalization of CloudFormation.
Security assessment
The changes introduce documentation about scanning AMIs for publishing requirements, but there's no explicit mention of security vulnerabilities or security-specific features. Scanning appears related to general compliance/publishing checks rather than security hardening.
