AWS controltower documentation change

Service: controltower · 2025-11-22 · Documentation medium

File: controltower/latest/userguide/lifecycle-events.md

Summary

Updated documentation links and removed 'created by AWS Control Tower' qualifier from guardrail operations

Security assessment

While the guardrail scope change could impact security configurations, there's no explicit mention of security vulnerabilities being addressed. The modifications appear to broaden functionality rather than fix security issues.
