AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

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

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/migrate-bulky-oracle-databases/overview.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'heterogeneous' to 'cross-platform', changed 'Snowball Edge' to 'Snowball', modified image reference, adjusted phase numbering/formatting, removed backticks from object types, fixed contractions, and removed validation phase mention.

Security assessment

Changes are editorial and terminological (e.g., 'Snowball Edge' to 'Snowball', formatting adjustments). No security vulnerabilities, configurations, or features are mentioned or modified. Removal of validation phase reference doesn't indicate security impact as it wasn't security-focused.
