AWS elasticloadbalancing documentation change

Service: elasticloadbalancing · 2025-10-22 · Documentation low

File: elasticloadbalancing/latest/userguide/infrastructure-security.md

Summary

Removed a sentence about API request signing using access keys or AWS STS temporary credentials.

Security assessment

The removal reduces specificity about authentication mechanisms but does not indicate a resolved security issue. AWS APIs inherently require signed requests, so the change likely reflects redundancy rather than a security impact.
