AWS appstream2 documentation change

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

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/best-practices-for-using-iam-role-with-streaming-instances.md

Summary

Changed all 'AppStream 2.0' references to 'WorkSpaces Applications' in titles, headings, and content. Maintained existing IAM security best practices guidance with updated product names.

Security assessment

This is a product name update rather than a security-related change. The IAM role best practices content remains substantively the same, continuing to recommend least privilege principles without introducing new security documentation or addressing specific vulnerabilities.
