AWS appstream2 documentation change

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

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

Summary

Updated product name references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including section headers, feature descriptions, and documentation links.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/name updates without modifying security controls or addressing vulnerabilities. All security-related configurations (clipboard limits, authentication methods, data transfer controls) remain functionally unchanged - only the product name references were updated.
