AWS code-library documentation change

Service: code-library · 2026-04-19 · Documentation low

File: code-library/latest/ug/lightsail_example_lightsail_GettingStarted_section.md

Summary

Updated title and simplified description of example actions. Removed specific details about SSH key pair download, block storage attachment, snapshot creation, and cleanup steps. Also removed a note about fixes applied including polling mechanisms and region setting.

Security assessment

The changes are primarily editorial, simplifying the getting started guide and removing implementation details. The removal of SSH key pair mention could be seen as reducing security guidance, but there's no evidence this addresses a specific vulnerability. The removed 'FIXES APPLIED' note mentions polling mechanisms for disk and snapshot states, which are reliability improvements, not security fixes.
