AWS rekognition: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in Rekognition setup
Summary
Replaced the generic 'Getting started with an AWS account' link with expanded guidance describing two AWS sign-up paths: advanced sign-up for full account control or regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP), and simplified sign-up using an existing login.
Security assessment
The change only rewrites account-creation onboarding text and links to new AWS account management pages. HIPAA/FedRAMP are mentioned only as examples of workloads better served by advanced sign-up; no security control, permission, or vulnerability is described, so this is a documentation/onboarding edit with no security impact.
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).
