Container for the parameters to the CreateAlias operation. Creates an alias for a fleet. In most situations, you can use an alias ID in place of a fleet ID. An alias provides a level of abstraction for a fleet that is useful when redirecting player traffic from one fleet to another, such as when updating your game build.
Amazon GameLift supports two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. A simple alias points to an active fleet. A terminal alias is used to display messaging or link to a URL instead of routing players to an active fleet. For example, you might use a terminal alias when a game version is no longer supported and you want to direct players to an upgrade site.
To create a fleet alias, specify an alias name, routing strategy, and optional description.
Each simple alias can point to only one fleet, but a fleet can have multiple aliases.
If successful, a new alias record is returned, including an alias ID and an ARN. You
can reassign an alias to another fleet by calling UpdateAlias.
