AWS appstream2 documentation change

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

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/encryption-transit.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the encryption in transit documentation

Security assessment

The changes appear to be rebranding/renaming updates rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. Encryption methods (TLS 1.2, AES-256) and security controls remain unchanged. No evidence of vulnerability fixes or new security guidance beyond service name updates.
