AWS transform documentation change

Service: transform · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: transform/latest/userguide/getting-started.md

Summary

Simplified the AWS Transform enablement steps by removing the optional step for using a custom S3 bucket and renumbering subsequent steps.

Security assessment

This is a procedural simplification removing an optional configuration step. While using custom S3 buckets can have security implications, the change itself doesn't mention security vulnerabilities, fixes, or security features. It's a routine documentation update to streamline the setup process.
