AWS AWSEC2 documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'root device volume' to 'root volume' and 'instance store-backed AMIs' to 'Amazon S3-backed AMIs'. Fixed hyphenation consistency in 'instance store volumes'.
Security assessment
Changes are purely terminological updates and documentation consistency improvements without any references to security vulnerabilities, access controls, encryption, or security best practices. No evidence of addressing security weaknesses or adding security-related content.
