AWS waf documentation change

Service: waf · 2025-08-22 · Documentation low

File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-bot-control-deploying.md

Summary

Standardized terminology by replacing 'protection pack or web ACL' with 'protection pack (web ACL)' throughout the document for consistency

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological clarifications to improve documentation consistency. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are mentioned. The updates maintain existing security guidance about Bot Control deployment without altering security implications.
