AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated service name references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including links and client/instance terminology
Security assessment
The changes appear to be a rebranding effort rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. Security-related statements about encrypted pixels, VPC isolation, and identity federation remain unchanged except for service name updates. No new security controls or vulnerability mitigations were introduced.
