AWS directconnect documentation change
Summary
Updated branding terminology from 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' throughout the document, including console references and link labels. No technical changes to processes.
Security assessment
Changes are purely branding/nomenclature updates (removing 'AWS' prefix) without altering security implications of cross-connect processes. LOA-CFA handling and partner workflows remain unchanged. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or security incidents.
