AWS dcv: Reword session type table entries for console and virtual sessions

Service: dcv · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: dcv/latest/adminguide/managing-sessions-intro.md

Summary

Table cells describing console and virtual session support were reworded (e.g., 'Windows, Linux, and macOS servers' instead of 'Linux, macOS, and Windows Amazon DCV servers'). No security content change.

Security assessment

The change is a cosmetic rewording of the session type comparison table; it does not alter any security-relevant behavior, permissions model, or guidance.

Evidence

+Console | Windows, Linux, and macOS servers | No, only one console session allowed on each server | Only the admin user can start and close sessions | Yes | Yes, without additional software
