AWS polly: Clarify AWS signup options for regulated workloads
Summary
Expands AWS account signup guidance to distinguish advanced signup for regulated workloads and full account control from simplified signup with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
The change is account onboarding guidance, not a vulnerability fix. It adds compliance-oriented context for regulated workloads and account configuration control, which is security-adjacent documentation but does not address a specific weakness or incident.
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).
