AWS hands-on documentation change

Service: hands-on · 2026-06-04 · Documentation low

File: hands-on/latest/setup-environment/setup-environment.md

Summary

Removed sequential requirement for modules, changed Module 2 from mandatory security-focused to optional AWS Organizations topic, and added explicit 'Optional' labeling to Module 3

Security assessment

The changes restructure tutorial flow but show no evidence of addressing vulnerabilities. Converting 'Secure Your AWS Account' to an optional AWS Organizations module reduces security emphasis rather than adding security documentation or addressing specific vulnerabilities.
