AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-resource-lambda-function.md

Summary

Updated branding references from 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' and maintained IAM permission requirements for tag management

Security assessment

While the IAM permission requirements for tag management relate to security best practices, this is a documentation maintenance update rather than a new security feature or vulnerability fix. The changes emphasize existing security controls without introducing new ones.
