Description
Dear Developer/Team,
I noticed the abbreviation "NWCS" multiple times in the documentation but couldn't find its definition or explanation. Could you please clarify what "NWCS" stands for?
Thank you.
Best regards,
`The NWCS datasource retrieves basic configuration values from the locally accessible metadata service. All data is served over HTTP from the address 169.254.169.254.`

Update:
NWCS could potentially stand for something like:
1 : "Network Web Configuration Service"
2 : "Network-Wide Configuration System",
but this is speculation.
