AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2025-11-07 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/appstream-well-architected-framework/resources.md

Summary

Updated product name references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including titles and blog post links.

Security assessment

The changes appear to be a rebranding effort rather than addressing security issues. While some modified links reference security-related topics (e.g., certificate-based authentication, identity federation), the changes only update product names without altering security content or addressing vulnerabilities. The URL paths remain unchanged, indicating this is a documentation nomenclature update rather than a security-focused modification.
