AWS autoscaling documentation change

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

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/create-asg-launch-configuration.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'Auto Scaling group' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' throughout the document for branding consistency. Modified headings, instructions, and links to reflect the new naming convention.

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic branding updates with no security implications. All modifications involve terminology standardization without altering security configurations, access controls, or vulnerability mitigations. No security features were added or modified.
