AWS autoscaling documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'Auto Scaling group' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' throughout the document for consistency and branding. Also replaced 'Elastic Load Balancing' with 'ELB' in one instance.
Security assessment
Changes are purely terminological updates without any security implications. No vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or security incidents are addressed. The ELB abbreviation change doesn't alter security meaning.
