AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated antivirus exclusion list for Amazon DCV processes and added Windows Driver Foundation process, with clarification that interference may impact service availability and performance.
Security assessment
The change updates the list of processes that security software should not interfere with, which is a security best practice to ensure service availability. However, there is no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed; it's a routine update to documentation about antivirus exclusions.
