AWS controltower documentation change

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

File: controltower/latest/controlreference/ecs-rules.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace 'AWS CloudFormation' with 'CloudFormation' throughout the file, removing AWS branding from CloudFormation references

Security assessment

Changes are purely branding/naming convention updates (removing 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references). No security controls, vulnerabilities, or security features were added/modified. The updates maintain existing security-related content about ECS controls but don't introduce new security aspects.
