AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Removed documentation for the AWS-UpdateEC2Config document, including command examples and parameter references.
Security assessment
The change removes outdated EC2Config update procedures but shows no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. EC2Config is being phased out in favor of EC2Launch, which is a routine deprecation.
