AWS rtb-fabric documentation change
Summary
Changed a warning about manually ensuring ASG hosts are healthy to a tip recommending automated health checks, and updated a link title from 'Links' to 'Health checks for Managed Endpoints'
Security assessment
The change promotes using automated health checks to ensure traffic is only routed to healthy instances, which improves security by preventing traffic from being sent to compromised or unhealthy hosts. However, there's no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed; it's a best practice recommendation.
