Summary

Updated update instructions to reference new AWS Launch Wizard and CloudFormation methods instead of direct CloudFormation steps. Removed detailed CloudFormation update procedure and added troubleshooting guidance for pre-v3.3.0 updates.

Security assessment

The changes reorganize update procedures but don't reference any specific security vulnerabilities or weaknesses. While 'security patches' are mentioned generically, there's no evidence of addressing a concrete security issue.
