AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change
Summary
Added note about expanded pre-deployment validation checks during change set creation and instructions for creating express mode change sets.
Security assessment
The change documents additional validation checks (quota limits, Recorder conflicts) which improve reliability but don't address security vulnerabilities. Express mode documentation focuses on deployment speed, not security features.
