AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

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

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/migration-operations-integration/operations-automation.md

Summary

Updated navigation link from 'welcome.html' to 'introduction.html', revised text to use a table format for core operations functions, and added links to security strategy documentation.

Security assessment

The change adds a 'security strategy' entry in the core operations functions table with a link to AWS security reference architecture documentation. While this improves visibility of security best practices, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident.
