Summary

Added documentation for ALB + ECS Fargate deployment option including AWS WAF protection and migrated from CloudWatch Events to EventBridge

Security assessment

Explicitly documents AWS WAF as an optional security feature for web application firewall protection in ALB deployments. While this adds security documentation, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The EventBridge migration is a service update without security implications.
