AWS storagegateway: Update AWS account signup guidance in Storage Gateway getting started
Summary
Replaces the single AWS account creation link with two signup options: advanced signup for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and a streamlined signup using an existing login with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
This is a documentation wording change about how to sign up for an AWS account. It mentions regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP) only as a reason to choose advanced signup; it does not describe a vulnerability, fix, or security control, so it is not security-issue related.
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).
