AWS elasticbeanstalk documentation change

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

File: elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/php-ha-tutorial.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'Auto Scaling group' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' in multiple sections for consistency and clarity. Changed 'Elastic Load Balancing' to 'ELB' abbreviation. No functional changes to security configurations.

Security assessment

Changes are purely terminological clarifications (e.g., specifying 'Amazon EC2' prefix for Auto Scaling groups). While proper security group configuration is mentioned, the updates don't address new vulnerabilities or security features. The security implications of using a load balancer and correct Auto Scaling group references remain unchanged from previous documentation.
