File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/set-up-stacks-fleets-add.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including user pool, client application, and API naming.

Security assessment

The changes appear to be a rebranding/renaming effort without altering security functionality. No vulnerabilities or security improvements are mentioned. The authentication methods (SAML 2.0 SSO, user pools) remain unchanged except for service name updates.
