AWS appstream2 documentation change

Service: appstream2 · 2026-04-19 · Documentation low

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/create-setup-script.md

Summary

Removed references to Amazon Linux 2 from setup script examples, execution context descriptions, and file system location documentation.

Security assessment

These changes remove outdated references to Amazon Linux 2 from setup script documentation, consistent with the deprecation of Amazon Linux 2 support. While this aligns with security best practices (removing references to unsupported systems), the change itself doesn't document security issues or add security features.
