AWS serverless-application-model documentation change

Service: serverless-application-model · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-specification-generated-resources-api.md

Summary

Updated documentation to use 'CloudFormation' instead of 'AWS CloudFormation' throughout the file for terminology consistency

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological updates removing 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references. No security-related content was added, modified, or removed. The modifications appear to be branding/style updates rather than addressing security vulnerabilities or documenting security features.
