Summary

Added deprecation notice for AWS Snowball Edge effective November 2025 with alternative service recommendations

Security assessment

Deprecation notice added to infrastructure security documentation, but does not introduce new security controls or address vulnerabilities. The 'secure physical transfers' mention refers to an alternative service's feature, not Snowball Edge itself.
