AWS snowball documentation change
Summary
Updated support notice: Changed 'Important' header to 'Note' and revised end-of-support message for Snowball Edge devices, directing new customers to alternative services.
Security assessment
The change updates product support timelines and recommendations but does not address security vulnerabilities or document security features. The mention of 'secure physical transfers' in AWS Data Transfer Terminal is a general recommendation, not a new security feature documentation.
