Create a Amazon GameLift Servers build resource for managed hosting
When creating a build and uploading your files, you have a couple of options:
-
Create a build from a file directory. This is the simplest and most commonly used option.
-
Create a build with files in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). With this option, you can manage your build versions in Amazon S3.
With both methods, Amazon GameLift Servers creates a new build resource with a unique build ID and other metadata. The build starts in the Initialized status. After Amazon GameLift Servers acquires the game server files, the build moves to Ready status.
When the build is ready, you can deploy it to a new Amazon GameLift Servers fleet. For more information, see Create an Amazon GameLift Servers managed EC2 fleet.When Amazon GameLift Servers sets up the new fleet, it downloads the build files to each fleet instance and installs the build files.
