Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Delete a fleet

You can delete a fleet when you no longer need it. Deleting a fleet permanently removes all data associated with game sessions and player sessions, and collected metric data. As an alternative, you can retain the fleet, disable auto-scaling, and manually scale the fleet to 0 instances.

Note

If the fleet has a VPC peering connection, first request authorization by calling CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization. Amazon GameLift Servers deletes the VPC peering connection during fleet deletion.

You can use either the Amazon GameLift Servers console or the Amazon CLI tool to delete a fleet.
