GameLift Alias

An AWS GameLift Alias is a resource that provides a named reference to a GameLift fleet. It allows you to create a stable identifier for game clients to connect to, while giving you flexibility to redirect traffic to different fleets without changing client configurations. This makes it easier to manage game server deployments, perform updates, or reroute players during scaling and maintenance.
