AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2026-05-13 · Documentation low

Summary

Added usage example for MEDIACONNECT_ROUTER input type and updated RouterSettings description. The example demonstrates creating an input with automatic encryption and redundant destinations.

Security assessment

The example includes encryption configuration (AUTOMATIC) which promotes secure practices, but there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The change primarily improves documentation clarity and provides implementation guidance for security features.
