AWS solutions documentation change
Summary
Simplified data collection documentation by removing detailed metrics list and opt-out instructions, replacing with general statement about operational metrics collection
Security assessment
The change removes documentation about specific data points collected (Solution ID, UUID, Container Data, etc.) and deletes opt-out instructions. While this reduces transparency, there's no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The change doesn't introduce new security features or documentation.
