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
This is a product lifecycle update without security implications. The reference to 'secure physical transfers' in AWS Data Transfer Terminal is a service recommendation, not evidence of addressing a security issue.
