AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document. Content about data persistence mechanisms and encryption practices remains unchanged except for service naming.
Security assessment
The changes are purely branding updates (service name change from AppStream 2.0 to WorkSpaces Applications) without altering security recommendations or addressing vulnerabilities. The existing security guidance about S3 encryption and administrative access remains unchanged.
