AWS lookout-for-equipment documentation change
Summary
Restructured AWS account signup section by removing detailed signup steps and replacing with a link to AWS Account Management Guide.
Security assessment
The change removes security best practices about root user access without adding new security content. While the removed content contained security recommendations, the change itself doesn't address a specific vulnerability.
