AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change
Summary
Completely restructured the data sources documentation, replacing detailed breakdown of three data source types with a concise overview and reference to telemetry configuration
Security assessment
The change reorganizes documentation content but doesn't address any security vulnerabilities or add new security features. It mentions 'security insights' in passing but this is part of general observability context, not a security-specific addition.

Processing of vended AWS service data occurs at the Log Source and Source Type level through CloudWatch Logs data sources. To get started enable logging of vended logs for the supported AWS services using the service’s console and then select the data source and type in the CloudWatch pipelines creation wizard.
