AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-05-31 · Documentation low

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-s3.md

Summary

Updated resource reference links to use TemplateReference URLs, changed 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation', and added PDF reference link.

Security assessment

Changes are primarily documentation link updates and branding adjustments. The security warning about public bucket policies and Block Public Access was already present and unchanged in substance. No evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or adding new security guidance.

-This example creates a bucket as a website and disables Block Public Access (public read permissions are required for buckets set up for website hosting). A public bucket policy is then added to the bucket. Because this bucket resource has a [DeletionPolicy attribute](./aws-attribute-deletionpolicy.html) set to `Retain`, AWS CloudFormation will not delete this bucket when it deletes the stack. The Output section uses `Fn::GetAtt` to retrieve the `WebsiteURL` attribute and `DomainName` attribute of the `S3Bucket` resource.
