AWS gamelift documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to reflect product name changes from 'Amazon GameLift' to 'Amazon GameLift Servers' throughout the document, including SDK references, service interactions, and component names. Adjusted links and terminology consistency.
Security assessment
Changes are purely branding/terminology updates without any mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or new security controls. The authentication token handling mentioned in the Agent section appears to be existing functionality rather than a new security feature.
