Configurable DCV session validation thresholds

When a VDI session is resuming or starting, RES repeatedly checks whether the DCV session has reached a READY state. If the session does not become ready within a certain number of retries, it is marked as ERROR.

These retry thresholds are configurable via the <env-name>.cluster-settings DynamoDB table, allowing administrators to tune them based on their environment. This is particularly useful for environments with longer bootstrap times due to custom AMI configurations, additional software installations, or other VDI setup logic.

Key Description Default value
vdc.validation_request_threshold Maximum retries before marking a non-ready session as ERROR 50
vdc.session_deleted_threshold Maximum retries before marking a DELETED session as ERROR 15
