Improved resiliency with DaaS during an outage
In normal operation, all cloud connectors are able launch any resource. However during an outage, cloud connectors go into LHC mode where they only know resources in their own location. Previously, StoreFront treated all connectors equally so when the connection between the Cloud Connector and the Citrix DaaS was lost, attempts to launch published applications or desktops through StoreFront might fail. With CU1, StoreFront queries each cloud connector to determine which resource location it is in. In the event of an outage, it directs launch requests to a cloud connector in the same location as the resources. To enable this functionality, you must enable Advanced health check and update your resource feeds to enure that all cloud connectors are listed. [CVADHELP-14075]
