# AppStream 2.0 App Block

An AppStream 2.0 App Block in AWS is a resource that packages applications and their dependencies so they can be streamed to users without installing them on local devices. It allows administrators to manage and update applications centrally, ensuring consistent performance and security. App Blocks are combined with application packages and images to deliver a complete virtualized app experience through AppStream 2.0.
