Summary

Added new index page for Amazon Linux documentation with overview of Amazon Linux 2023 and previous generations, including links to user guides and release notes.

Security assessment

This is a routine documentation addition creating a new index page. While it mentions Amazon Linux is 'security-focused', this is a general marketing statement and doesn't document specific security features or address any security issues. No evidence of security vulnerability remediation.
