Summary

Updated VPN reference from 'AWS VPN' to 'Site-to-Site VPN' and fixed URL formatting

Security assessment

The change updates terminology to use the official product name 'Site-to-Site VPN' rather than 'AWS VPN', which is a branding/naming clarification. The URL fix adds an extra slash but doesn't change content. No security vulnerabilities or security features are mentioned or addressed.

It is built to scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so your applications have the storage they need – when they need it. It is designed to provide massively parallel shared access to thousands of Amazon EC2 instances, enabling your applications to achieve high levels of aggregate throughput and IOPS with consistent low latencies. Amazon EFS is a fully managed service that requires no changes to your existing applications and tools, providing access through a standard file system interface for seamless integration. Amazon EFS is a regional service storing data within and across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) for high availability and durability. You can access your file systems across Availability Zones and AWS Regions and share files between thousands of Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers via Direct Connect or AWS VPN.
