AWS gamelift documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Amazon GameLift' to 'Amazon GameLift Servers' throughout the document, including API references and configuration steps.
Security assessment
The changes are primarily branding/naming convention updates without introducing new security content or addressing specific vulnerabilities. The VPC peering documentation remains focused on network configuration rather than security fixes.
