AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Added references to 'protection pack' alongside web ACLs throughout the document, introduced new console experience documentation
Security assessment
The changes primarily introduce terminology for 'protection packs' and update references to include them alongside web ACLs. While protection packs might relate to security configurations, there's no explicit mention of addressing vulnerabilities or security incidents. The changes appear to document feature enhancements rather than security fixes.
