AWS autoscaling documentation change

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

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/create-auto-scaling-groups-launch-template.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use full service name 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups' instead of 'Auto Scaling groups' throughout the file. Changed references to related resources and links to match updated naming convention.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates to align with proper service naming conventions. No security vulnerabilities, configurations, or features are mentioned or modified. The existing security references to IAM policies and service-linked roles remain unchanged except for service name updates.
