Ensure policies are used for AWS CloudFormation Stacks

MEDIUM

Description

AWS CloudFormation Stacks do not use policies. This may cause accidental update or deletion of stack resources.

Remediation

AWS CloudFormation can be used to automate the creation of cloud resources by using CloudFormation Templates. To begin, visit the AWS Console and navigate to the CloudFormation section.

For more information, see the AWS or Terraform documentation.
