AWS managed-blockchain documentation change
Summary
Replaced 'Prerequisites' section with simplified 'Sign up for an AWS account' content, removing detailed sign-up steps and root user security advice
Security assessment
The change removes security best practices about root user access without adding new security content. While this reduces security documentation, it doesn't directly address a specific vulnerability. The removal of root user warnings could indirectly weaken security posture but lacks evidence of being tied to a particular security incident.
