Session management
Session management provides a flexible and interactive environment for developing and testing sessions. As an administrative user, you can permit users to create and manage interactive sessions within their project environments.
Desktop settings
You can use the Desktop Settings page to configure resources associated with virtual desktops. The Server tab provides access to settings such as:
- DCV session idle timeout
-
The time after which the DCV session will be automatically disconnected. This does not change the state of the desktop session, it only closes the session from either the DCV client or the web browser.
- Idle timeout warning
-
The time after which an idle warning will be provided to the client.
- CPU utilization threshold
-
The CPU utilization to be considered idle.
- Allowed sessions per user
-
The number of VDI sessions that an individual user can have at a given time. If a user meets or exceeds this value, this will prevent them from launching new sessions from the My Virtual Desktops page. The ability to launch sessions through the Sessions page is not impacted by this value.
- Max root volume size
-
The default size of the root volume on virtual desktop sessions.
- Allowed instance types
-
The list of instance families and sizes that can be launched for this RES environment. Instance family and instance size combinations are both accepted. For example, if you specify 'm7a', all sizes of the m7a family will be available to launch as VDI sessions. If you specify 'm7a.24xlarge', only m7a.24xlarge will be available to launch as a VDI session. This list affects all projects in the environment.
