AWS devicefarm documentation change
Summary
Added details about service-side execution architecture including secure S3 bucket usage, expanded Appium testing documentation with client-side option references
Security assessment
Mentions use of secure service-managed S3 buckets for test artifacts/results, which documents existing security practices. However, this does not address a specific security issue but rather explains infrastructure security aspects.

Once uploaded, it spins up the underlying infrastructure, including service-managed [test hosts](./custom-test-environments-hosts.html), and executes the tests in parallel on multiple devices. The test results are stored in a service managed S3 bucket. This architecture is called **service-side execution** , and is a fast and efficient way to run tests on hosts that are physically close to the device, without needing to manage the test host infrastructure yourself. This approach scales well for testing on many devices independently, as well as testing from the context of a CI/CD pipeline. + @@ -12,0 +15,4 @@ For more information about how Device Farm runs tests, see [Test environments in +###### Note + +For Appium testers, you may prefer to run your Appium tests from your local environment.
