Session Management

A game session is defined as the time your server process is available to host players. Typically, a session ends when a game specific condition is met, which may include all players have left the session, player(s) reach a win condition, or a time period has expired.

For GameLift a session is specifically an instance of your game running on Amazon GameLift that is ready to host players. The session ends when your server notifies GameLift to end the session.
