AWS ground-station: Update AWS account signup guidance in Ground Station getting started
Summary
Replaces the single AWS account creation link with a description of two signup paths: advanced signup for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and a streamlined signup using an existing login with preconfigured defaults in select Regions.
Security assessment
Same boilerplate account-signup text update applied to the Ground Station guide. It contains no security-specific guidance, configuration, or remediation, so it is a low-severity editorial change.
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).
