AWS lightsail: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in Lightsail setup page
Summary
Swaps the single account-creation link for the new two-path sign-up guidance (advanced sign-up for account control/regulated workloads, or default sign-up with preconfigured defaults) in the Lightsail setup documentation.
Security assessment
Documentation wording change only, part of a site-wide sign-up guidance refresh. No security-relevant configuration, permission, or exposure detail is added.
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).
