AWS directconnect: Updated AWS account signup guidance in Direct Connect high resiliency setup
Summary
Replaced the account-creation sentence with expanded text describing two signup options, including advanced signup for controlled/regulated environments and login-based signup with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
Boilerplate onboarding text update with no vulnerability fix, credential handling, or access-control detail. Mentions HIPAA/FedRAMP only as signup-path context, not as documented security guidance.
