Creates a multiplayer game session for players in a specific fleet location. This operation prompts an available server process to start a game session and retrieves connection information for the new game session. As an alternative, consider using the Amazon GameLift game session placement feature with StartGameSessionPlacement , which uses the FleetIQ algorithm and queues to optimize the placement process.
When creating a game session, you specify exactly where you want to place it and provide
a set of game session configuration settings. The target fleet must be in ACTIVE
status.
You can use this operation in the following ways:
To create a game session on an instance in a fleet's home Region, provide a fleet or alias ID along with your game session configuration.
To create a game session on an instance in a fleet's remote location, provide a fleet or alias ID and a location name, along with your game session configuration.
To create a game session on an instance in an Anywhere fleet, specify the fleet's custom location.
If successful, Amazon GameLift initiates a workflow to start a new game session and
returns a GameSession object containing the game session configuration and
status. When the game session status is ACTIVE, it is updated with connection
information and you can create player sessions for the game session. By default, newly
created game sessions are open to new players. You can restrict new player access
by using UpdateGameSession
to change the game session's player session creation policy.
Amazon GameLift retains logs for active for 14 days. To access the logs, call GetGameSessionLogUrl to download the log files.
Available in Amazon GameLift Local.
