AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/eks-gitops-tools/best-practices.md

Summary

Restructured document formatting by converting bold headings to plain text headings and consolidating best practice statements into single lines while removing redundant text.

Security assessment

The changes are purely structural/formatting improvements without introducing new security content. The existing 'Evaluate security features' section maintains identical recommendations about policy-as-code and compliance checks. No vulnerabilities or security incidents are addressed.
