Amazon GameLift announces updated console experience

Hello GameLift Devs,

Today, the Amazon GameLift team is excited to announce the launch of the updated Amazon GameLift console experience to help you more intuitively and efficiently manage and scale your game servers. Amazon GameLift customers asked us to streamline navigation, provide more monitoring and information about their game serves and instances, and add more helpful resources without having to leave the Amazon GameLift console.

With this new release, you can now more easily manage various Amazon GameLift features such as creating builds, scripts, fleets, and FlexMatch rules using the redesigned left-hand navigation. The updated console includes over 80 new info panels, new pages to view information about your game server groups and instance pricing history, a completely new sample game, and a sample FlexMatch rule set to help you better configure and deploy your Amazon GameLift resources. With the extended Amazon CloudWatch integration, you can create your own dashboards and custom views such as instance performance, utilization/capacity, and player sessions. In summary, the updated console experience gives you more visibility, flexibility, and speed when it comes to managing and scaling your game servers on Amazon GameLift.
