AWS directconnect: Updated AWS account signup guidance in Direct Connect resiliency setup
Summary
Replaced the single sentence pointing to 'Getting started with an AWS account' with an expanded description of two signup paths, including an advanced signup for regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP) and a simplified signup using an existing login.
Security assessment
This is a boilerplate update to account-signup wording. It mentions regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP) and control over where content is stored, but documents no specific security control, vulnerability, or advisory; it is purely onboarding guidance.
Evidence
+To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use [Sign up for AWS (advanced)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/getting-started.html). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select [AWS Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/project-regions.html), use [Sign up for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/sign-in-new.html).
