Research direction
Start with documentation/server/guides/deploying/aws.md and compare it with the proposed server-guides/Sources/ServerGuides.docc/deploying/aws.md destination. First determine with the server workgroup whether to migrate for Amazon Linux 2023 or deprecate in favor of the Fargate/SAM guides. If migrating, run the listed documentation generation and preview commands; done means the guide is converted, indexed, reviewed, and the required redirects are prepared.
