Summary

Updated '[ELB]' to '[Elastic Load Balancing]' in TLS offloading recommendation

Security assessment

Terminology update without security implications. TLS offloading is mentioned but not as a new security feature - this is existing functionality being referenced with updated naming.

-  * 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.
