AWS eks documentation change

Service: eks · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: eks/latest/userguide/launch-templates.md

Summary

Added example headings for user data configurations and custom AMI usage scenarios.

Security assessment

Changes are structural/organizational (adding example headers) without security content. The custom AMI example mentions security as one possible reason among others, but doesn't introduce new security documentation.
