AWS directoryservice documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation for deleting AWS Managed Microsoft AD groups: simplified prerequisites, clarified regional requirements for user/group management, reorganized IAM permission guidance, and added CLI/PowerShell command references.
Security assessment
The changes are editorial improvements and clarifications about existing features (IAM permissions, regional enablement). No vulnerability, weakness, or security incident is addressed. Security-related content about IAM permissions was reworded but not substantively changed or added.
