AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Added documentation about new S3 bucket naming format (Version 2) for home folders and preserved legacy format information.
Security assessment
The change provides updated bucket naming conventions but doesn't introduce or modify security controls. While S3 bucket security is important, this update is purely about naming structure rather than access policies or encryption settings.
