AWS streams documentation change
Summary
Simplified AWS account sign-up instructions by replacing detailed steps with a link to AWS Account Management Guide
Security assessment
The changes only restructure account setup documentation without addressing security vulnerabilities or adding security features. The removed root user security note is replaced with a general account setup link, but no new security content is added.
