AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'Elastic Load Balancing' to 'ELB' and 'AWS VPN' to 'Site-to-Site VPN' throughout the document. Fixed URL formatting for load balancer links and adjusted service name references for consistency.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve rebranding/renaming of services (e.g., Elastic Load Balancing to ELB, AWS VPN to Site-to-Site VPN) and URL formatting fixes. No new security-related content was added, nor were any security vulnerabilities addressed. The existing security mentions (e.g., AWS Shield integration, VPN security features) remain unchanged in their security implications.
