AWS govcloud-us documentation change
Summary
Updated references from 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' throughout the document, adjusted section headers, and standardized terminology for consistency.
Security assessment
The changes appear to be branding/terminology updates rather than substantive security-related modifications. The core security guidance (e.g., requiring VPN encryption for export-controlled workloads) remains unchanged. No vulnerabilities or new security features are introduced.
