Summary

Updated terminology from 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' in multiple instances, maintaining technical accuracy while simplifying branding references.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological (removing redundant 'AWS' from CloudFormation references). No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are introduced or modified. The preventive control CT.CLOUDFORMATION.PR.1 is still referenced in the same context.
