AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links, added SQL Server version reference, expanded EC2 naming, and added technical links for high availability solutions
Security assessment
Changes include formatting updates, link corrections, and technical clarifications. While encrypted S3 buckets are mentioned, this was already present in previous version and no new security controls or vulnerabilities are addressed.
