Parameters

Explanation in CloudFormation Registry

The AWS::GameLift::Alias resource creates an alias for an Amazon GameLift (GameLift) fleet destination. There are two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. A simple alias points to an active fleet. A terminal alias displays a message instead of routing players to an active fleet. For example, a terminal alias might display a URL link that directs players to an upgrade site. You can use aliases to define destinations in a game session queue or when requesting new game sessions.
