AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'protection pack or web ACL' to 'protection pack (web ACL)' and removed redundant reference to protection pack in rule group context
Security assessment
The changes clarify documentation about Shield Advanced's automated DDoS mitigation configuration but do not address any specific security vulnerability or weakness. The edits focus on terminology consistency (protection pack vs web ACL) rather than introducing new security controls or patching vulnerabilities.
