AWS appstream2: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in WorkSpaces Applications setup
Summary
Replaces the single AWS account creation link with a description of two sign-up paths: advanced sign-up for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and standard sign-up using an existing login with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
Only the account-creation prerequisite text changed; no security-relevant configuration, permission, or vulnerability content is involved.
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).
