AWS controltower documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'ELB' to 'Elastic Load Balancing' throughout the document for consistency and clarity. Changes include control descriptions, explanatory text, and CloudFormation rule comments.
Security assessment
The changes are purely terminological updates (replacing 'ELB' with 'Elastic Load Balancing') without modifying any security requirements, configurations, or recommendations. No vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or security incidents are addressed. The security controls described (deletion protection, logging, TLS policies, etc.) remain unchanged in their functionality and security implications.
