AWS waf documentation change

Service: waf · 2025-06-19 · Documentation low

File: waf/latest/developerguide/web-acl-dashboards-screenshots.md

Summary

Updated documentation to include references to 'protection pack' alongside web ACLs in traffic dashboard examples and console navigation. Added announcement about new console experience.

Security assessment

The changes primarily update terminology to include 'protection pack' references and announce a new console UI experience. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or weaknesses. The modifications appear to be documentation restructuring and feature announcements rather than security-related updates.
