AWS quick documentation change
Summary
Major restructuring of Amazon Quick documentation including rebranding from QuickSight to Quick, updated feature descriptions, revised benefits section, removal of pricing/availability details, simplified access methods, and replacement of user types with getting started guide.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve product rebranding and feature reorganization. While the previous version mentioned security controls (encryption, IAM integration) in the 'Enterprise-grade security' benefit section, this was completely removed. The new 'AI you can trust' benefit mentions generic AWS security controls but provides no new security documentation. There's no evidence of security vulnerability fixes or incident response.
