AWS directconnect documentation change
Summary
Updated product name references from 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' throughout the document for consistency
Security assessment
Changes are purely branding/terminology updates (removing 'AWS' from product name references). No security vulnerabilities or new security features are mentioned. Existing security-related entries like MACsec and IAM support maintain their previous security context without substantive changes.
