This API works with the following fleet types: EC2, Anywhere, Container

Creates a placement queue that processes requests for new game sessions. A queue finds the best available game server, then prompts it 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

• Create a queue that delivers game session placement insight logs to one or more log destinations.

  • Required parameters Name and Destinations

  • LogConfiguration

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.

param Name:

[REQUIRED]

A descriptive label that is associated with game session queue. Queue names must be unique within each Region.

type TimeoutInSeconds:

integer

param TimeoutInSeconds:

The maximum time, in seconds, that a new game session placement request remains in the queue. When a request exceeds this time, the game session placement changes to a TIMED_OUT status. If you don't specify a request timeout, the queue uses a default value.

type PlayerLatencyPolicies:

list

param PlayerLatencyPolicies:

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.

• (dict) --

  Sets a latency cap for individual players when placing a game session. With a latency policy in force, a game session cannot be placed in a fleet location where a player reports latency higher than the cap. Latency policies are used only with placement requests that provide player latency information. Player latency policies can be stacked to gradually relax latency requirements over time.

  • MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds (integer) --

    The maximum latency value that is allowed for any player, in milliseconds. All policies must have a value set for this property.

  • PolicyDurationSeconds (integer) --
