Amazon GameLift Streams now offers enhanced flexibility with default applications

Starting today, Amazon GameLift Streams offers enhanced flexibility for managing default applications in stream groups. You can now create new stream groups without specifying a default application and modify or remove the default application in the existing stream group.

The key improvements include:

• Ability to create a stream group without a default application
• Ability to select and modify the default application in an existing stream group
• Ability to unlink a default application without having to delete the entire stream group
• Automatic selection of a new default application when no default exists, before streaming an application, ensuring the stream group always has a default when available

Each stream group can have one application set as default, which is pre-cached to help reduce the stream startup time. You can now switch the default status between any linked applications to optimize the performance without recreating stream groups.

To take advantage of these improvements, you can use the updated Amazon GameLift Streams APIs or the service console to manage your default application configurations. The UpdateStreamGroup API includes a new optional field for the default application identifier. The AssociateApplications and DisassociateApplications APIs have also been updated to handle default application changes. For more information about default applications, see Multi-application stream groups in the Developer Guide.

These enhancements provide a better experience as you build and scale your cloud gaming infrastructure.
