Amazon GameLift Streams introduces secure terminal access for stream sessions
Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Stream Session Admin Shell, enabling secure terminal access to inspect logs, processes, and GPU utilization without managing SSH keys or infrastructure credentials
Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Stream Session Admin Shell, providing a secure terminal connection to the live runtime environment of a stream session for real-time troubleshooting. Users can inspect logs, query running processes, check GPU utilization, and examine application state-all without managing SSH keys, open ports, or infrastructure credentials. To connect, call the new CreateStreamSessionAdminShell API with your stream group and stream session identifiers, then use the returned credentials with the SSM Session Manager plugin for the AWS CLI. The feature supports Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), Proton, and Windows Server 2022 runtimes. The terminal connection is scoped to your application environment and automatically closes when the stream session ends. This feature is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered
