AWS solutions documentation change
Summary
Restructured cost documentation to differentiate between Lambda and ECS architectures, updated cost tables, and added detailed cost considerations for both deployment models.
Security assessment
The changes focus exclusively on cost breakdowns and architectural comparisons without addressing vulnerabilities, security patches, or security configurations. The only security-related mention (image URL signature using Secrets Manager) is unchanged from previous documentation and appears in cost context only.
