Summary

Updated references to 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' throughout the document, removing redundant 'AWS' branding from service names and partner references. No technical changes to guidance or requirements.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological, removing 'AWS' from 'AWS Direct Connect' for consistency. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are introduced or modified. Existing security recommendations (e.g., prefix filtering, routing policies) remain unchanged in substance.
