Description

Creates a placement queue that processes requests for new game sessions. A queue uses FleetIQ algorithms to locate the best available placement locations for a new game session, and then prompts the game server process to start a new game session. A game session queue is configured with a set of destinations (Amazon GameLift Servers fleets or aliases) that determine where the queue can place new game sessions. These destinations can span multiple Amazon Web Services Regions, can use different instance types, and can include both Spot and On-Demand fleets. If the queue includes multi-location fleets, the queue can place game sessions in any of a fleet's remote locations. You can configure a queue to determine how it selects the best available placement for a new game session. Queues can prioritize placement decisions based on a combination of location, hosting cost, and player latency. You can set up the queue to use the default prioritization or provide alternate instructions using PriorityConfiguration. Request options Use this operation to make these common types of requests.
  • Create a queue with the minimum required parameters.
    • Name
    • Destinations (This parameter isn't required, but a queue can't make placements without at least one destination.)
  • Create a queue with placement notification. Queues that have high placement activity must use a notification system, such as with Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) or Amazon CloudWatch.
    • Required parameters Name and Destinations
    • NotificationTarget
  • Create a queue with custom prioritization settings. These custom settings replace the default prioritization configuration for a queue.
    • Required parameters Name and Destinations
    • PriorityConfiguration
  • Create a queue with special rules for processing player latency data.
    • Required parameters Name and Destinations
    • PlayerLatencyPolicies
Results If successful, this operation returns a new GameSessionQueue object with an assigned queue ARN. Use the queue's name or ARN when submitting new game session requests with StartGameSessionPlacement or StartMatchmaking.

-Destination <GameSessionQueueDestination[]>
A list of fleets and/or fleet aliases that can be used to fulfill game session placement requests in the queue. Destinations are identified by either a fleet ARN or a fleet alias ARN, and are listed in order of placement preference. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesDestinations
-FilterConfiguration_AllowedLocation <String[]>
A list of locations to allow game session placement in, in the form of Amazon Web Services Region codes such as us-west-2. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

-PlayerLatencyPolicy <PlayerLatencyPolicy[]>
A set of policies that enforce a sliding cap on player latency when processing game sessions placement requests. Use multiple policies to gradually relax the cap over time if Amazon GameLift Servers can't make a placement. Policies are evaluated in order starting with the lowest maximum latency value. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesPlayerLatencyPolicies
-PriorityConfiguration_LocationOrder <String[]>
The prioritization order to use for fleet locations, when the PriorityOrder property includes LOCATION. Locations can include Amazon Web Services Region codes (such as us-west-2), local zones, and custom locations (for Anywhere fleets). Each location must be listed only once. For details, see Amazon GameLift Servers service locations. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

-PriorityConfiguration_PriorityOrder <String[]>
A custom sequence to use when prioritizing where to place new game sessions. Each priority type is listed once.
  • LATENCY -- Amazon GameLift Servers prioritizes locations where the average player latency is lowest. Player latency data is provided in each game session placement request.
  • COST -- Amazon GameLift Servers prioritizes queue destinations with the lowest current hosting costs. Cost is evaluated based on the destination's location, instance type, and fleet type (Spot or On-Demand).
  • DESTINATION -- Amazon GameLift Servers prioritizes based on the list order of destinations in the queue configuration.
  • LOCATION -- Amazon GameLift Servers prioritizes based on the provided order of locations, as defined in LocationOrder.
Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
