Summary

Removed references to P2 instances from GPU optimization steps and autoboost documentation

Security assessment

The changes remove outdated configuration examples for P2 instances but contain no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities. This appears to be routine documentation maintenance to reflect current instance support rather than a security-related update.
