Summary

Updated references from 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' to 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout monitoring and logging documentation

Security assessment

The changes primarily update service names without introducing new security content. While monitoring/logging relates to security best practices, there is no evidence these changes address a specific security vulnerability or weakness. The log retention justification remains similar to previous guidance.
