AWS ec2 documentation change
Summary
Updated instance type documentation tables to add explicit 'No'/'Yes' labels for feature availability checks (✗/✓ symbols). Clarified encryption statuses, networking capabilities, and storage limits across multiple HPC instance types.
Security assessment
The changes improve documentation clarity but do not address vulnerabilities or disclose new security features. Security-related fields like 'EBS encryption' and 'Encryption in transit' were already documented - the update only adds explicit 'Yes/No' labels to existing security attributes without introducing new security guidance or mitigations.
