AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Replaced 'Elastic Load Balancing' with 'ELB' acronym and maintained health check recommendation using WordPress admin page
Security assessment
Change only abbreviates service names without altering security configurations. The existing security consideration of using /wp-login.php for health checks predates this change and is not modified. No new security guidance added.
