AWS cognito: Cognito getting started: expanded AWS account signup options
Summary
Rewrote the AWS account signup sentence to describe two signup paths: advanced signup for full control over account configuration/content location (recommended for regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP), and standard signup for new users with preconfigured defaults in select Regions.
Security assessment
This is a documentation-only change to account onboarding guidance; it touches compliance/control topics (HIPAA, FedRAMP, data location) but documents no specific vulnerability, security feature, or hardening control and makes no security-relevant claim about Cognito itself.
