AWS appstream2 documentation change

Service: appstream2 · 2025-10-22 · Documentation medium

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/infrastructure-security.md

Summary

Removed a sentence about requiring signed API requests using IAM credentials or AWS STS temporary security credentials.

Security assessment

While the removed content describes security practices, the deletion does not indicate a resolved security issue or vulnerability. This appears to be documentation streamlining rather than a security-related update. However, the change reduces emphasis on credential requirements, which could indirectly impact security awareness (but not a direct security fix).
