AWS health: Update AWS account signup guidance in Health Dashboard setup
Summary
Replaces the single 'Getting started with an AWS account' link with a description of two signup paths: advanced signup for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and standard signup with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
This is an onboarding/account-creation wording update. It mentions regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP) only as a reason to choose advanced signup; it does not document a security control, fix a vulnerability, or change any permission/encryption behavior.
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).
