AWS wellarchitected documentation change
Summary
Replaced all references to 'AppStream 2.0' with 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, updated service-specific terminology, and adjusted related links/descriptions to align with the new service name.
Security assessment
The changes appear to be a rebranding/renaming update from AppStream 2.0 to WorkSpaces Applications without introducing new security content or addressing vulnerabilities. While VPC endpoint configuration is mentioned, this is a standard networking practice rather than a security fix. No evidence of patching vulnerabilities or addressing security incidents exists in the diff.
