AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/migration-database-rehost-tools/apg-gloss.md

Summary

Complete restructuring of document from technical glossary format to website navigation/content framework. Removed all database migration terminology and replaced with main page elements including headers, navigation links, content sections (Guides, Patterns, Strategies), and footer content.

Security assessment

The changes are structural/formatting modifications rather than substantive content updates. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or security-specific documentation were added. The removed content included some security-related terms (e.g., encryption, access control), but the changes don't explicitly address security issues.
