        To get a fleet''s scaling policies, specify the fleet ID. You can filter this request by policy status, such as to retrieve only active scaling policies. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, set of ScalingPolicy objects is returned for the fleet.


        A fleet may have all of its scaling policies suspended. This operation does not affect the status of the scaling policies, which remains ACTIVE.'

          - description: Desired value to use with a target-based scaling policy. The value must be relevant for whatever metric the scaling policy is using. For example, in a policy using the metric PercentAvailableGameSessions, the target value should be the preferred size of the fleet's buffer (the percent of capacity that should be idle and ready for new game sessions).
      description: 'Settings for a target-based scaling policy. A target-based policy tracks a particular fleet metric specifies a target value for the metric. As player usage changes, the policy triggers Amazon GameLift to adjust capacity so that the metric returns to the target value. The target configuration specifies settings as needed for the target based policy, including the target value. '
