AWS lightsail documentation change
Summary
Updated LAMP quick start guide to differentiate between Lightsail and Bitnami instances, changed password retrieval commands from Bitnami-specific to Lightsail-specific, updated IP address references from public to static IP for Lightsail instances, added deployment instructions for Lightsail instances, and added HTTPS/SSL documentation link.
Security assessment
The changes primarily update documentation to reflect Lightsail's own LAMP stack versus Bitnami's, including different credential file locations and IP terminology. The addition of a link to 'Secure your Lightsail LAMP website with Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS' adds security documentation about enabling HTTPS, which is a security feature. However, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident; the changes are routine documentation updates to reflect product changes and best practices.
