AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated end-of-life timeline for Graphics Pro/Design instances and version bumps for base images/components (CloudWatch Agent, SSM Agent, NICE DCV, kernels). Added 02/18/2026 releases with 4K resolution support.
Security assessment
Changes consist of routine version updates for managed components (SSM Agent 3.3.3050.0 → 3.3.3598.0, kernel patches) and EOL notices. While component updates may include security fixes, there is no explicit mention of CVEs, vulnerabilities, or security advisories in the diff. The kernel version bumps (e.g., 4.18.0-553.81.1 → 553.104.1) suggest maintenance updates but lack security context.
