AWS deadline-cloud medium security documentation change
Summary
Multiple updates including: workstation setup instructions, software support table with version updates and deep links, added security verification link, credential management changes, and Blender submission example refinement.
Security assessment
Added explicit link to security best practices for installer verification helps prevent supply chain attacks. Changed credential sync behavior (removed 15-min sync) may reduce credential exposure surface. Security documentation added through new reference to security practices.
