AWS autoscaling documentation change

Service: autoscaling · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/asg-capacity-limits.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' branding terminology instead of generic 'Auto Scaling group' references

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates without any security implications. No security vulnerabilities, configuration guidance, or protective measures were added/modified. The updates only standardize product naming conventions.
