AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2026-04-28 · Documentation low

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/opt-in-directory-bucket-lz.md

Summary

Restructured content with new sections for AWS Local Zones and Dedicated Local Zones. Added placeholder for 'Data protection for directory buckets in Local Zones' section.

Security assessment

The changes are organizational and provide account setup instructions. The 'Data protection' section header was added but contains no content in this diff, so it doesn't constitute substantive security documentation.
