Amazon GameLift Servers adds CPU burstability for container fleets

Amazon GameLift Servers CPU Burstability

Amazon GameLift Servers now supports CPU burstability for container fleets, providing game developers with enhanced flexibility in allocating and consuming compute resources at runtime. This feature allows developers to pack containers based on typical CPU needs while enabling game server processes to utilize idle instance CPU during peak demand moments.

What to do

• Configure CPU burstability per container group definition.
• Support high-density deployments without sacrificing peak performance.
• No additional cost, included in standard container fleet pricing.

CPU burstability is available in all AWS Regions where container fleets are supported, excluding China Regions.
