Summary

Replaced 'ELB' with 'Elastic Load Balancing' in SSL/TLS offloading context

Security assessment

Change only expands an acronym without modifying security guidance. SSL/TLS offloading security benefits remain unchanged.

-  * Using TLS with TCP or UDP can result in increased latency and reduced throughput for your workload due to the impact of encryption and decryption. For such workloads, consider SSL/TLS offloading on [ELB](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/) to improve workload performance by allowing the load balancer to handle SSL/TLS encryption and decryption process instead of having backend instances do it. This can help reduce the CPU utilization on the backend instances, which can improve performance and increase capacity.
