AWS gameliftservers medium security documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to add 'Best practices' section, reorganize content, and emphasize queue configuration for reliability and performance. Added guidance about TLS certificates, multi-region deployments, and fleet management.
Security assessment
The change adds a security-related best practice recommending 'Use the same TLS certificate setting for all fleets' to ensure secure client communication. TLS configuration directly impacts encryption and secure connectivity between clients and game servers.
