Summary

Added deprecation notice for CloudTrail Lake and updated migration instructions, removing CLI usage notes including permissions and regionality requirements.

Security assessment

The changes announce service deprecation and adjust migration steps, but there is no evidence of a security vulnerability being addressed. The removal of CLI notes about permissions and regionality could impact security awareness, but it is not directly tied to a security issue.

-###### Important Notes for CLI Usage
-
-  * **Permissions:** The IAM entity executing this command must have `logs:CreateImportTask` permissions.
-
-  * **Regionality:** Ensure that both the CloudTrail Lake Event Data Store and the CloudWatch Log Group are in the same AWS Region, or specify the `--region` flag in your command.
-
-  * **Log Group Existence:** The destination log group must already exist before you start the import task. You can create one using `aws logs create-log-group --log-group-name `name``.
