Fleets in the Amazon GameLift Servers console
The fleet resource represents a set of compute machines that are deployed with and run your game servers.
Depending on your hosting solution, you might have managed EC2 fleets, managed container fleets, Anywhere fleets,
or a combination.
View information about fleets in the Amazon GameLift Servers console or using the or Amazon SDK for Amazon GameLift Servers.

You can view information on all the fleets created to host your games on Amazon GameLift Servers under
your Amazon account. In the console's left-side navigation, find the hosting option you want
(Anywhere, Managed EC2, Managed containers), and choose Fleets.
For each hosting option, the Fleets page lists fleets that are
located in your currently selected Amazon Region. From the Fleets page,
you can create a new fleet or view additional detail on a fleet. A fleet's detail page contains usage information,
metrics, game session data, and player session data. You can also edit a fleet record or
delete a fleet.
A Fleets page displays the following summary information by default.
-
ID – An identifier assigned to the fleet. This ID is
unique within the Amazon Web Services Region where the fleet is created.
-
Name – A friendly name given to the fleet.
-
Status – The status of the fleet:
New, Downloading,
Building, and Active.
-
Creation time – The date and time the fleet was
created.
A fleet displays a warning icon for fleets that were created more than 90
days ago. As a best practice, we recommend replacing fleets every 30 days to
maintain a secure and up-to-date runtime environment for your hosted game
servers. For guidance, see Security best practices for Amazon GameLift Servers.
-
Fleet type – The availability of the instances used to
host your games, which can potentially impact hosting costs. A managed fleet can use
On-Demand (always available) or Spot
(availability varies) instances.
-
Active instances – The number of EC2 instances in use
for the fleet.
-
Desired instances – The number of EC2 instances to
keep active.
-
Game sessions – The number of active game sessions
running in the fleet. The data is delayed by five minutes.
-
Player sessons – The number of active player sessions
in the fleet. The data is delayed by five minutes.
