Reduce the average time it takes to start up GDK in Remote Development workspace

Overview

Currently, the startup time of GDK in Remote Development workspace is slow from the moment of running the bootstrap script until the user sign-in page is ready. The goal is to address this by measuring how long it takes for users to set up GDK within the workspaces and make this process faster.

Impacted categories

The following categories relate to this issue:

• gdk-reliability - e.g. When a GDK action fails to complete.
