AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document. No technical content changes beyond service rebranding.
Security assessment
The changes are purely rebranding updates without introducing new security information or addressing vulnerabilities. The security guidance about endpoint security agents and process exclusions remains unchanged except for service name references.
