# Integrate Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ into a game client
<a name="gsg-integrate-gameclient"></a>

This topic describes the tasks required to prepare your game client or matchmaking service to communicate with Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ in order to acquire a game server to host a game session.

Create a method that allows your game client or matchmaker to request a game server resource for players. You have a couple of options for how to do this: 
+ Have Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ choose an available game server. This option takes advantage of Amazon GameLift Servers FleetIQ optimizations to use low-cost Spot Instances and for automatic scaling.
+ Request all available game servers and select one to use (often referred to as "list and pick").
