Summary

Updated documentation links, rephrased Aurora high availability section, restructured DynamoDB tutorials, and consolidated Neptune use cases

Security assessment

Changes involve URL updates, content restructuring, and tutorial consolidation without introducing security-specific content or addressing vulnerabilities. The high availability description update focuses on operational reliability rather than security controls.
