AWS gameliftservers documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation links, rephrased section headers, and restructured content about Amazon GameLift Servers managed hosting components and workflows. Changes include updated terminology, improved navigation links, and clearer guidance for preparing game servers and backend services.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve documentation restructuring, link updates, and terminology improvements without introducing new security-related content or addressing specific vulnerabilities. While IAM role setup is mentioned (a security practice), the changes only modify link text rather than adding new security guidance.
