Summary

Changed 'Elastic Load Balancing' to the acronym 'ELB' in SSL/TLS offloading context.

Security assessment

Terminology simplification with no impact on security content. While TLS offloading is a security-adjacent feature, the change doesn't add or modify security documentation.

-  3. Using TLS with TCP or UDP can result in increased latency and reduced throughput for your workload due to the impact of encryption and decryption. For such workloads, consider SSL/TLS offloading on [Elastic Load Balancing](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/) to improve workload performance by allowing the load balancer to handle SSL/TLS encryption and decryption process instead of having backend instances do it. This can help reduce the CPU utilization on the backend instances, which can improve performance and increase capacity.
