AWS verifiedpermissions documentation change

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

File: verifiedpermissions/latest/userguide/cloudformation-verified-permissions.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' throughout the document for consistency. Adjusted references to error messages and template handling to match simplified service name.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological, replacing 'AWS CloudFormation' with 'CloudFormation' for branding consistency. No security-related content was added, modified, or removed. The Cognito error example update is a regional availability clarification, not a security fix.

If you receive an error from AWS CloudFormation regarding Amazon Cognito Identity, such as `Unrecognized resource types: AWS::Cognito::UserPool, AWS::Cognito::UserPoolClient`, we recommend that you create the Amazon Cognito user pool and client in the geographically closest AWS Region where Amazon Cognito Identity is available. Use this newly created user pool when creating the Verified Permissions identity source.

-To provision and configure resources for Verified Permissions and related services, you must understand [AWS CloudFormation templates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/template-guide.html). Templates are formatted text files in JSON or YAML. These templates describe the resources that you want to provision in your AWS CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with JSON or YAML, you can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with AWS CloudFormation templates. For more information, see [What is AWS CloudFormation Designer?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/working-with-templates-cfn-designer.html) in the _AWS CloudFormation User Guide_.
