AWS redshift documentation change
Summary
Restructured 'Signing up for AWS' section: removed step-by-step instructions and root user security advice, replaced with link to AWS account guide.
Security assessment
Removed security guidance about root user risks and administrative access without adding compensating documentation. The change reduces security awareness content but doesn't indicate a specific security fix.
