AWS guidance documentation change

Service: guidance · 2025-08-10 · Documentation low

File: guidance/latest/cloud-intelligence-dashboards/config-resource-dashboard-account.md

Summary

Restructured documentation headings, updated deployment steps with account context, simplified CID-CMD installation instructions, and changed dashboard template source from local file to GitHub URL

Security assessment

Changes focus on documentation structure and deployment process improvements without addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing security features. The template URL change improves source reliability but doesn't directly relate to security controls.
