Single VHDX with different application config per user

Question

Hi,

I am looking to see if this possible, i have a single application (C#) that works with a *.config file. Each config file needs to be different per site.

What, if possible, would be the easiest/cleanest way of accomplishing this using AppStream 2.0?

Preferably keeping a single VHDX.

This will have a custom flow using Cognito and SQL database for users/sites with a streaming URL being produced for users to login.

Or is it a case of a full (AppBlock, Application, Fleet and Stack, VHDX) per site with the config in the VHDX?

Answer

If the sites are geographically distributed, you may want to create a stack in different Regions to get your workload closer to your end users.

You could include all the config files, and then use [session context](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/managing-stacks-fleets.html#managing-stacks-fleets-session-context) to select the config file that is needed. Using session context lets you set it dynamically with a SAML attribute.

Look at the example for Firefox. You can make a small script that passes the config file as an argument to your application.
