AWS mgn documentation change
Summary
Restructured prerequisites to emphasize dedicated server requirements, removed unsupported OS versions, and clarified SSM agent management
Security assessment
The changes enforce security best practices (dedicated servers, openssl requirement, SSM agent isolation) but do not address a specific disclosed vulnerability. These are preventive measures rather than reactive fixes.
