Summary

Updated service references from 'Application Migration Service' to 'MGN' or 'Transform MGN' throughout the document, including console addresses, agent names, and pattern titles.

Security assessment

Changes are purely rebranding updates reflecting a service name change from 'Application Migration Service' to 'MGN'. No security vulnerabilities, configurations, or practices are modified. Network requirements (ports, protocols) and IAM roles remain unchanged.
