Amazon GameLift Streams adds AWS Health notifications for aging resources
Amazon GameLift Streams is now integrated with AWS Health and will provide automated notifications about aging stream groups. Customers are sent regular reminders via AWS Health to re-create their stream groups starting as early as the 45th day to the 335th day from the stream group creation date. Stream groups older than 180 days are restricted from adding new applications and automatically expire after the 365th day.
This feature strengthens our customer’s security posture by helping customers manage the lifecycle of stream groups and prevent the use of outdated resources that might be missing updates. While the customer focuses on their game development, the service helps maintain the health of their resources.
AWS Health will send a reminder to the linked account on the 45th day and on the 150th day from the stream group creation day, informing customers that the stream group will be restricted from adding new applications after the 180-day. A last reminder to re-create the stream group will be sent on 335th day informing customers that the stream group will expire on the 365th day.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered at no additional cost.
Maintenance warnings or the expiration date of a stream group can be viewed on the Stream group details page on the service console, or by using the ExpiresAt field in the GetStreamGroup API response.
