AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change
Summary
Renamed 'anomaly detection' to 'outlier detection' throughout the document, including section titles and function descriptions. Updated references to documentation links while maintaining same URL anchors.
Security assessment
The changes appear to be terminology updates from 'anomaly detection' to 'outlier detection' without introducing new security capabilities or addressing specific vulnerabilities. The ANOMALY_DETECTION_BAND function's purpose remains unchanged despite the naming update. No security advisories, vulnerability fixes, or access control changes are mentioned.
