AWS appsync documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to remove 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references throughout the file, standardizing terminology to 'CloudFormation' instead of 'AWS CloudFormation'
Security assessment
The changes are purely terminological updates to branding/naming conventions (removing 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references). There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, access controls, permissions, or security-related features. The modifications appear focused on documentation consistency rather than addressing security concerns.
