AWS snowball documentation change
Summary
Updated support notice: Changed 'Important' to 'Note' and replaced end-of-support details with new Snowball Edge availability timeline and alternative service recommendations.
Security assessment
The change updates product lifecycle information and migration guidance without addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing security features. Mentions of 'secure physical transfers' in alternatives are descriptive, not new security documentation.
