AWS wellarchitected documentation change

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

File: wellarchitected/latest/end-user-computing-lens/euccost05-bp03.md

Summary

Replaced 'AppStream 2.0' with 'WorkSpaces Applications' in instance type recommendations, monitoring metrics, and pricing references. Maintained same technical guidance but updated service naming alignment.

Security assessment

Changes are purely nomenclature updates for service consistency. No security-related content added or modified - guidance remains focused on cost optimization through proper resource sizing. Pricing tool URL retains AppStream 2.0 path despite label change, indicating documentation alignment rather than security impact.

-AWS EUC services offer a variety of different bundles and instance types, including GPU-enabled choices. Assuming you have captured and analyzed your metrics in an existing reference environment, you can map your workloads to the most cost-effective Amazon WorkSpaces or AppStream 2.0 bundles and instance types. If you have use cases that require a GPU and are heavily utilized (high number of hours per month), consider using AppStream 2.0, which gives you a more granular choice of GPU-enabled instances. Use the [AWS Pricing Calculator](https://calculator.aws/#/) or the [Amazon AppStream 2.0 Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/appstream2/pricing/?nc1=h_ls) tool to determine which of the two solutions is more cost-effective for your specific workload.
