createMatchmakingConfiguration
Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. Whether your are using FlexMatch with Amazon GameLift Servers hosting or as a standalone matchmaking service, the matchmaking configuration sets out rules for matching players and forming teams. If you're also using Amazon GameLift Servers hosting, it defines how to start game sessions for each match. Your matchmaking system can use multiple configurations to handle different game scenarios. All matchmaking requests identify the matchmaking configuration to use and provide player attributes consistent with that configuration.
To create a matchmaking configuration, you must provide the following: configuration name and FlexMatch mode (with or without Amazon GameLift Servers hosting); a rule set that specifies how to evaluate players and find acceptable matches; whether player acceptance is required; and the maximum time allowed for a matchmaking attempt. When using FlexMatch with Amazon GameLift Servers hosting, you also need to identify the game session queue to use when starting a game session for the match.
In addition, you must set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic to receive matchmaking notifications. Provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration.
