AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Updated navigation link, expanded game-day testing scenarios (e.g., Lambda concurrency limits, DynamoDB throttling), and added AWS service recommendations for operational testing (AWS FIS, CloudWatch Synthetics).
Security assessment
Changes focus on operational resilience testing and tooling (e.g., chaos engineering with AWS FIS) but do not explicitly address security vulnerabilities, threats, or security-specific documentation. The scenarios test system reliability rather than security controls.
