AWS eventbridge documentation change

Service: eventbridge · 2025-07-18 · Documentation low

File: eventbridge/latest/userguide/pipes-get-started.md

Summary

Updated CloudFormation documentation with CLI examples, simplified branding references, and removed redundant section headers

Security assessment

The change adds AWS CLI examples using '--capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM', which documents security-related permissions required for IAM resource creation. However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability - it simply enhances existing documentation about secure CloudFormation stack creation practices.
