Summary

Renamed 'Application Migration Service' to 'MGN'/'Transform MGN' in title, content, and links. No technical changes to migration process.

Security assessment

Changes involve service rebranding only. Security-related content (IAM credential requirements, network ports) remains identical. No evidence of security vulnerability fixes or new security documentation added.
