AWS transform documentation change
Summary
Added Export for vCenter as a new network data capture option and expanded tool selection guidance
Security assessment
Change introduces a new tool option and clarifies network migration workflows, but does not address security vulnerabilities or document security controls. The security group limitation with RVTools was pre-existing documentation.
