AWS gamelift documentation change

Service: gamelift · 2025-03-10 · Documentation low

File: gamelift/latest/developerguide/gamelift-howitworks.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace 'Amazon GameLift' with 'Amazon GameLift Servers' throughout the document, including section headers, feature names, and service references. Added 'Servers' suffix to product names and updated related links.

Security assessment

Changes are branding/naming updates rather than security-related content. No vulnerabilities, security controls, or incident responses are mentioned. Updates focus on clarifying product naming without introducing new security features or addressing security issues.
