AWS memorydb: Update AWS sign-up options text

Service: memorydb · 2026-10-21 · Documentation low

File: memorydb/latest/devguide/getting-started.md

Summary

Replaces the single AWS account creation link with guidance on two sign-up paths (advanced vs. preconfigured defaults), mentioning HIPAA/FedRAMP regulated workloads.

Security assessment

Onboarding/intro wording change only; no security mechanism, config, or vulnerability addressed.

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).
