AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to replace 'AWS CloudFormation' with 'CloudFormation' throughout the file, removing redundant AWS branding from service name references
Security assessment
The changes are purely branding/naming convention updates (removing 'AWS' from CloudFormation references). There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features. The modifications don't impact security configurations or procedures.
