AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

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

File: AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/CHAP_GettingStartedAurora.CreatingConnecting.AuroraPostgreSQL.md

Summary

Updated references from 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' throughout the document 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, modified, or removed. Existing security warnings (like SSH access from 0.0.0.0/0) remain unchanged.
