File: wellarchitected/latest/end-user-computing-lens/definitions.md

Summary

Updated service references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout definitions and related components

Security assessment

Changes appear to be rebranding/renaming updates rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. The term 'secure' remains unchanged in service descriptions, and no new security controls or vulnerabilities are mentioned. This is likely documentation alignment with updated product naming conventions.
