AWS waf documentation change

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

File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-managed-rule-groups-best-practice.md

Summary

Consistently replaced 'protection pack or web ACL' with 'protection pack (web ACL)' to standardize terminology

Security assessment

Changes only clarify that protection packs are implemented as web ACLs. No security-related content modifications, vulnerability disclosures, or new security capabilities are introduced. Purely documentation consistency improvement.
