AWS storagegateway documentation change

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

File: storagegateway/latest/tgw/GettingStarted.md

Summary

Restructured sign-up documentation and removed explicit IAM user creation instructions.

Security assessment

While removing IAM user guidance might reduce security best practice visibility, the change itself doesn't address a security vulnerability or add security documentation.
