AWS AmazonECS documentation change

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

File: AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/working-with-templates.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 or modified beyond naming conventions.
