Amazon GameLift is a fully managed service for deploying, operating, and scaling session-based multi-player game servers in the cloud.
Amazon GameLift replaces the work required to host your own game servers, including:
- Buying and setting up hardware.
- Managing ongoing activity, security, storage, and performance tracking.
Auto-scaling capabilities reduces payment on resources that are needed, while ensuring that games are available for new players to join with minimal waiting.
A queue creates a group of one or more fleets and defines how to choose the best fleet in the group for a new game session. Queues can contain fleets that are located in different regions.
Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
