AwsCredentials - Amazon GameLift
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).

AwsCredentials

Amazon account security credentials that allow interactions with Amazon GameLift resources. The credentials are temporary and valid for a limited time span. You can request fresh credentials at any time.

Amazon security credentials consist of three parts: an access key ID, a secret access key, and a session token. You must use all three parts together to authenticate your access requests.

You need Amazon credentials for the following tasks:

  • To upload a game server build directly to Amazon GameLift S3 storage using CreateBuild. To get access for this task, call RequestUploadCredentials.

  • To remotely connect to an active Amazon GameLift fleet instances. To get remote access, call GetComputeAccess.
