A game server group contains configuration settings that define how Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ works with a corresponding Auto Scaling group to deliver low-cost game hosting. Game server groups are Region-specfic. When you create a game server group in a Region, a new Auto Scaling group is automatically created in your AWS account in the same Region. The game server group is linked to the Auto Scaling group and has access (by assuming the IAM role) to manage and modify some of its settings. A game server group is a long-lived resource; developers should expect to create them infrequently. A game server group is also a functional grouping resource for game servers that are hosted on instances in the Auto Scaling group and registered with Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ.
