File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/control-network-traffic.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding updates renaming the service from AppStream 2.0 to WorkSpaces Applications. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are introduced. The security-related content (security groups, VPC endpoints, IAM roles) remains functionally identical with only service name changes.
