Open Fleet Ports then Host a Session

with Amazon GameLift

Authorize inbound ports on a fleet, confirm them, then create a game session.

  1. Add the supplied inbound permission ranges to the fleet so game clients can reach game sessions.
  2. Retrieve the fleet's port settings to confirm the inbound permissions were applied.
  3. Create a game session on the now-reachable fleet for players to connect to.
What you'll need to have ready
  • fleetId: The fleet ID or ARN to update port settings on.
  • inboundPermissions: Inbound IP/port permission ranges to authorize on the fleet.
  • maximumPlayerSessionCount: Maximum number of players that can connect to the new game session.
  • sessionName: Optional descriptive label for the game session.
