AWS autoscaling documentation change

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

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ts-as-launch-template.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' terminology instead of 'Auto Scaling group' and corrected service name abbreviation from 'Elastic Load Balancing' to 'ELB'.

Security assessment

The changes are primarily branding/naming consistency updates and minor terminology corrections. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents. The mention of IAM credentials and policies is part of existing security documentation but does not introduce new security content or fixes.
