AWS managedservices documentation change

Summary

Removed 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references and updated RDS parameter requirement wording.

Security assessment

The change to the RDS parameter requirement maintains existing guidance about handling sensitive data but does not introduce new security content. The edit clarifies that CloudFormation ingest (rather than AWS CloudFormation ingest) doesn't handle sensitive data, but this is a naming consistency change rather than a substantive security update.
