Thanks for your input

Unfortunately we can't help with custom infrastructure on AWS.

this is just a plain ec2 instance so arguably "custom".

I've got it to work in the end accessing it through port 8080.

I'd suggest to remove the AWS part from your documentation then if you don't support it.

alternatively I'd add some sentence about enabling https and http and accessing the instance through port 8080 as additional guidance for users instead of a broad link to an explanation of security groups in AWS.
I can also check that later when I have some time..

As I see, this guide: https://docs.cvat.ai/docs/administration/basics/aws-deployment-guide/ is strongly outdated now. For example django app tf-annotation was removed several years ago.

We do not have internal resources to keep it up-to-date, because there are lots of things to be documented.
So, the community is welcome to contribute and update it.
