AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change

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

File: AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/ContainerInsights-Prometheus-install-ECS.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace 'AWS CloudFormation' with 'CloudFormation' throughout the file for terminology consistency

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/terminology updates (removing redundant 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references). No security-related content was added, removed, or modified. The IAM role requirements and permissions documentation remains unchanged except for service name references.
