AWS deadline-cloud documentation change

Service: deadline-cloud · 2026-01-10 · Documentation low

File: deadline-cloud/latest/userguide/submitter.md

Summary

Updated installation instructions to provide direct download links for Deadline Cloud submitter and monitor installers across all platforms instead of directing users to AWS Management Console. Removed version-specific filenames from installation commands.

Security assessment

The changes simplify the download process but don't address any specific security vulnerability. The optional installer verification step remains present but wasn't added or modified. No evidence of security incident remediation in the changes.
