AWS wellarchitected documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to clarify that composite alarms cannot perform Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling actions (instead of generic 'Auto Scaling')
Security assessment
The change only corrects terminology from 'Auto Scaling' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling' to align with official service naming. There is no indication this addresses a security vulnerability or adds security-related content. The modification improves accuracy but does not impact security controls or practices.
