# Amazon GameLift Servers endpoints and quotas
Amazon GameLift Servers

To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. AWS services offer the following endpoint types in some or all of the AWS Regions that the service supports: IPv4 endpoints, dual-stack endpoints, and FIPS endpoints. Some services provide global endpoints. For more information, see [AWS service endpoints](rande.md).

Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see [AWS service quotas](aws_service_limits.md).

The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service.

**Note**  
The following service endpoints table lists the AWS Regions that are available as Amazon GameLift Servers fleet home Regions. For more on Region availability for Amazon GameLift Servers features, including multi-location fleets, remote locations, and Local Zones, see [Amazon GameLift Servers service locations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/gamelift-regions.html).
