AWS guidance documentation change
Summary
Updated QuickSight deployment steps with region selection, account naming, email configuration, SPICE capacity management, and recommendations to deactivate Amazon Q/Pixel-Perfect features to avoid costs.
Security assessment
Changes focus on cost optimization (e.g., avoiding charges for Amazon Q) and deployment configuration (region selection, SPICE capacity). No explicit security vulnerabilities, access controls, or security best practices are addressed. Mentions of region selection relate to operational preferences, not data residency compliance.
