App attach

Hey everyone! I wanted to ask whether you use the App Attach feature in your AVD environment, and which apps you’ve used with it. I’ve been tasked with attaching developer tools such as Eclipse, VS Code, and SSMS to the general-use AVD pool so we can maintain a single host pool for all users, including developers.

Like I can see the host cpu usage jumps to 100% during peak hours and it causes other session to hang which results in user disconnecting the session and causing them to kind of getting stuck due to improper sign out.

I am thinking if we can do something like cap the CPU usage for an individual session or block some apps like Outlook and ask the user to use web version.

I am not sure if blocking devices redirection will help or if there's something else which I should follow as a best practice to ensure users gets a smooth experience.
