get_compute_auth_token#

GameLift.Client.get_compute_auth_token(**kwargs)#

Requests an authentication token from Amazon GameLift for a registered compute in an Anywhere fleet. The game servers that are running on the compute use this token to authenticate with the Amazon GameLift service. Each server process must provide a valid authentication token in its call to the Amazon GameLift server SDK action InitSDK().

Authentication tokens are valid for a limited time span. Use a mechanism to regularly request a fresh authentication token before the current token expires.
