AWS gameliftservers documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links, rephrased section titles, and reorganized content about hybrid hosting components. Changes include renaming 'Amazon GameLift Servers Agent' to 'process manager agent' (marked optional), restructuring fleet descriptions, and updating references to guides for backend services, IAM roles, fleet locations, and deployment automation.
Security assessment
The changes are primarily editorial improvements, link updates, and content reorganization. No explicit security vulnerabilities, patches, or new security controls are mentioned. The IAM role reference update ('Connect your...') relates to existing security best practices but does not introduce new security documentation.
