AWS workspaces-web: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in WorkSpaces Web setup
Summary
Replaces the single AWS account creation link with guidance on two sign-up options: advanced sign-up for full control over configuration/data storage and regulated workloads (HIPAA/FedRAMP), and simplified sign-up for new users.
Security assessment
Editorial update to the setup guide's account-creation text; it references compliance workloads for choosing a signup path but fixes no vulnerability and documents no security feature or best practice, making it only tangentially security-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).
