AWS elasticloadbalancing documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'ELB API' to 'Elastic Load Balancing API' throughout the document for consistency and clarity. No functional changes to throttling limits or behavior.
Security assessment
Changes are purely terminological updates (branding consistency) without modifying any security-relevant content. The throttling mechanisms, limits, and error handling remain unchanged. No evidence of security vulnerability fixes or new security guidance.
