AWS transform documentation change
Summary
Added entries for new Oracle Database discovery support, updated documentation links, and added migration strategy recommendations and planning diagrams
Security assessment
Changes describe feature additions (Oracle metadata collection, localization, region support) and reporting capabilities without mentioning security vulnerabilities, fixes, or security-specific features. The Oracle discovery fallback to OS-level detection doesn't explicitly address security concerns.

You can discover Oracle instances through direct SQL connections. The tool collects Container Database/Pluggable Database (CDB/PDB) enumeration, component inventory, and datafile sizing. It also captures topology flags for Real Application Clusters (RAC), Data Guard, and multitenant architecture.
