createGameSessionQueue

inline suspend fun GameLiftClient.createGameSessionQueue(crossinline block: CreateGameSessionQueueRequest.Builder.() -> Unit): CreateGameSessionQueueResponse

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.

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
