AWS elasticloadbalancing documentation change

Service: elasticloadbalancing · 2025-08-10 · Documentation medium

File: elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/listener-update-certificates.md

Summary

Updated certificate management documentation with corrected CLI/CloudFormation syntax, streamlined console steps, and clarified security policy/ALPN settings

Security assessment

Changes improve accuracy of security-related configurations (SSL policies, certificate management) but do not address a specific vulnerability. Enhanced documentation of secure listener settings qualifies as security documentation.
