**Tell us about your request**
Allow customization of Service Connect configuration related to retries and timeout per target

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECS Service Connect

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Today SC will retry twice on connection failure or 503 responses. Customize this policy based on the target service would be great. For example disable retries for requests to a "Process Payment" service that is not idempotent.
When Authentication is supported, this could be extended to define which services require Auth and which don't.

Don't use Service Connect
