  • Publication number: 20230216926
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining an idle timeout for a cloud computing session are described. An example technique includes determining a first one or more attributes associated with a user of the cloud computing session and determining a second one or more attributes associated with an operation of the cloud computing session. An idle timeout for the cloud computing session is determined, based at least in part on the first one or more attributes and the second one or more attributes. User activity is monitored during the cloud computing session. Upon determining, based on the monitoring, an absence of the activity of the user within a duration of the idle timeout, the cloud computing session is terminated.
