Game Server allocation based on maps

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
On persistant game, game Server can be use to allocate only 1 map.
Into a fleet, each gs represent a map.
If there is 5 maps, 5 gs allocated.
If there is no player into the map, it can be de allocated

Describe the solution you'd like

Could allocate gs with label

It is juste an idea, to support persistant World. I don't know if you plan to design / support this?

Thanks for your comments! I'm wondering if this could be already accomplished through either (a) existing functionality or (b) upcoming functionality.

But a few questions:

Into a fleet, each gs represent a map.

Why not a map per fleet? Would you want to autoscale a map based on player count? e.g. #1034

If there is no player into the map, it can be de allocated

This could also be done through the SDK.Allocate() and SDK.Ready() functions from within a Game Server currently.

Could allocate gs with label

You can also do this now (reference), but I'm not sure if that covers your use case. I assume you might be wanting to allocate based on player capacity? e.g. #1239

It is juste an idea, to support persistant World. I don't know if you plan to design / support this?

Are there blocking issues that aren't going to be covered for persistent worlds in what I've referenced above?

Would definitely love to provide more support for persistent worlds, so please let me know if I missed anything 👍

I start drived by 1 fleet = the World.
World is divised by map =gs.

• When map is full or maybe >80% (players capacity) create and allocate a new gs
• When map is empty or < 20% (players capacity) deallocate and delete gs
  So yes all sdk function already exist.

I don't think about 1 map = 1 fleet
I see scaling fleet based on #1034
It could be an interesting design choice.

The 2 solutions can be viable ?

I see https://agones.dev/site/docs/getting-started/create-fleetautoscaler/, mixed with player capacity, i think it is a better choice.
So I close this issue, and wait until this feature is available

Cool. Thanks for talking it through! Glad to know we are on the right track at least 👍
