Requests an authentication token from Amazon GameLift for a compute resource in an
Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet or container fleet. Game servers that are running on
the compute use this token to communicate with the Amazon GameLift service, such as
when calling the Amazon GameLift server SDK action InitSDK(). Authentication
tokens are valid for a limited time span, so you need to request a fresh token before
the current token expires.
Use this operation based on the fleet compute type:
For EC2 fleets, auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically.
All game servers that are running on all fleet instances have access to a valid auth
token.
For ANYWHERE and CONTAINER fleets, if you're using the Amazon GameLift
Agent, auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically for any container
or Anywhere compute where the Agent is running. If you're not using the Agent, create
a mechanism to retrieve and refresh auth tokens for computes that are running game
server processes.
