Amazon GameLift available in 5 more regions across Australia, Europe and North America, now with R4 instance support and VPC peering capabilities

Posted on: Sep 5, 2017

Starting today, Amazon GameLift supports game deployment to five additional regions. New regions Asia Pacific (Sydney), EU West (London), US West (San Francisco), US East (Ohio) and Canada (Montreal) join US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU West (Ireland), EU Central (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and South America (São Paulo) to make Amazon GameLift available in 14 regions worldwide. 

Amazon GameLift also now gives you the ability to peer the VPC that controls access to your Amazon GameLift fleet with any other AWS VPC (for example, a VPC that contains your services for authentication or commerce). This allows you to route traffic safely through the peered VPCs and not over the public internet.  

Lastly, you can now use the R4 instance type with Amazon GameLift.
