AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

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

File: AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_GettingStarted.CreatingConnecting.MariaDB.md

Summary

Updated references to 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' throughout the document, removing redundant AWS branding from CloudFormation service mentions. Adjusted links and section headers to match terminology changes.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological, standardizing references to CloudFormation without altering security guidance. No new security features, vulnerabilities, or mitigations are introduced. The existing security note about SSH access (0.0.0.0/0 allowing all IPs) remains unchanged and unrelated to these edits.
