Allocated
When a server has an active allocation ID and is hosting a game session, it’s in an allocated state. Allocated servers might or might not have active players connected to the game session it's hosting.Available
A server is available when it’s offline and doesn't have an active allocation. When a server is available, it's in the available servers pool and ready for a matchmaker to use in an allocation.Warning
Any number of available servers incurs costs, even without traffic. If you're in development or trying to limit costs in a low traffic environment, set the Minimum available scaling value to 0.
