AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change
Summary
Expanded agent deployment options (added macOS/container support), added traces collection, and linked to new workload detection installation guide
Security assessment
Enhances monitoring capabilities but doesn't specifically address security vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. The workload detection reference appears operational rather than security-focused.
