AWS managed-blockchain documentation change
Summary
Replaced detailed AWS account sign-up instructions with a concise reference to AWS account documentation.
Security assessment
Change simplifies onboarding documentation without addressing security vulnerabilities. Removed security best practice about root user access without replacement, but no evidence indicates this relates to an active security issue.
