AWS autoscaling documentation change

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

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/create-mixed-instances-group-manual-instance-type-selection.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' instead of 'Auto Scaling group' throughout the file for branding and clarity

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates to use the full service name ('Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group') instead of the abbreviated form. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or security features were added or modified. The content focuses on naming consistency rather than security aspects.
