AWS wellarchitected documentation change
Summary
Replaced all instances of 'Amazon AppStream 2.0' with 'Amazon WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, updating service references and links while maintaining the same security guidance about updates, automation, and logging.
Security assessment
The changes are purely rebranding references from AppStream 2.0 to WorkSpaces Applications without introducing new security content or addressing vulnerabilities. Existing security practices (OS patches, CloudTrail logging, automation) remain unchanged but are now associated with the updated service name.
