Abstract
A multi-region game server fleet may span a plurality of computing regions including a home computing region and one or more remote computing regions. A fleet management service operating in the home computing region may receive a request to perform a modification to the multi-region game server fleet, such as adding an additional remote computing region, removing an existing remote computing region, or making a configuration change. The modification may be performed, at least in part, by one or more region specific worker processes hosted in the home region. The fleet management service operating in the home computing region may also receive a request to perform an interaction with a specific remote region game server. An instruction corresponding to the interaction may be transmitted, by a region-specific computing function hosted in the home region, to the specific remote region game server.
