Summary

Added deprecation notice for AWS Snowball Edge availability to new customers after November 2025, with alternative service recommendations

Security assessment

The change announces product availability changes and recommends alternative services. While 'secure physical transfers' is mentioned for Data Transfer Terminal, this is a general feature description rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or adding new security documentation.
