AWS workspaces: Add encryption and nested virtualization options
Summary
Added explicit instructions for enabling volume encryption and nested virtualization during WorkSpace creation.
Security assessment
Documents security feature (volume encryption) to protect data at rest, but doesn't address a specific vulnerability.
Evidence
+ * To enable encryption for the root volume, user volume, or both, select **Encryption**. For more information, see [Encrypted WorkSpaces in WorkSpaces Personal](./encrypt-workspaces.html).
