AWS snowball documentation change
Summary
Modified support timeline notice for Snowball Edge and added recommendations for alternative services.
Security assessment
The change relates to service availability timelines, not security fixes. The 'secure' descriptor in Data Transfer Terminal is a marketing term, not documentation of security controls.
