Delete a fleet - Amazon GameLift Servers

Delete a fleet

You can delete a fleet when you no longer need it. Deleting a fleet permanently removes all data associated with game sessions and player sessions, and collected metric data. As an alternative, you can retain the fleet, disable auto scaling, and manually scale the fleet to 0 instances.

Note

If the fleet has a VPC peering connection, first request authorization by calling CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization. Amazon GameLift Servers deletes the VPC peering connection during fleet deletion.

You can use either the Amazon GameLift Servers console or the AWS CLI tool to delete a fleet.
