AWS appstream2 documentation change

Service: appstream2 · 2025-11-07 · Documentation low

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/active-directory-identify-objects.md

Summary

Replaced 'AppStream 2.0' with 'WorkSpaces Applications' in documentation, including command filters for identifying computer objects

Security assessment

Updates reflect service renaming but do not modify security practices. The change to '-desc "WorkSpaces Applications*"' in commands ensures accurate object identification but does not address a security flaw.
