AWS codedeploy documentation change
Summary
Removed detailed instructions about programmatic access methods and simplified account setup guidance
Security assessment
The changes simplify onboarding documentation by removing technical details about programmatic access credentials. While this removes references to security best practices (like temporary credentials), there's no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed. The modification appears to be general content streamlining.
