AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Added Amazon CloudWatch to the list of protectable resources in web ACL documentation
Security assessment
The change expands documentation coverage of WAF's capabilities by adding CloudWatch as a protectable service. While WAF is a security feature, there's no evidence this change addresses a specific security vulnerability - it appears to document expanded service integration rather than patch a security issue.
