AWS gamelift documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Amazon GameLift' to 'Amazon GameLift Servers' throughout the document, including titles, descriptions, and links. Adjusted terminology for consistency with the rebranded service name.
Security assessment
Changes involve service name standardization and documentation consistency updates. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are mentioned. Updates appear to be branding/naming convention changes rather than security-related content.
