AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

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

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/iot-greengrass-golden-images/procedure.md

Summary

Formatting adjustments: moved periods inside bold step headers, removed two 'Important' note sections and one paragraph about device configuration automation.

Security assessment

Changes are purely editorial (punctuation and note removal). No security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents are referenced. The removed content discussed general device configuration processes, not security-specific material.
