AWS gameliftservers documentation change
Summary
Restructured pricing documentation with expanded cost planning guidance, added pricing model breakdowns (managed hosting, Anywhere hosting), and updated Free Tier details
Security assessment
Changes focus on pricing structure clarification, cost factors, and usage guidance without mentioning security controls, vulnerabilities, or security features. The modification to 'Security best practices' in the footer appears to be an unrelated template change rather than substantive security content addition.
