2019/10/24 - Amazon GameLift - 10 updated api methods
Changes Amazon GameLift offers expanded hardware options for game hosting: Custom game builds can use the Amazon Linux 2 operating system, and fleets for both custom builds and Realtime servers can now use C5, M5, and R5 instance types.
{'OperatingSystem': {'AMAZON_LINUX_2'}}
Response {'Build': {'OperatingSystem': {'AMAZON_LINUX_2'}}}
Creates a new Amazon GameLift build record for your game server binary files and points to the location of your game server build files in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) location.
Game server binaries must be combined into a .zip file for use with Amazon GameLift.
Warning
To create new builds quickly and easily, use the AWS CLI command upload-build . This helper command uploads your build and creates a new build record in one step, and automatically handles the necessary permissions.
The CreateBuild operation should be used only when you need to manually upload your build files, as in the following scenarios:
Store a build file in an Amazon S3 bucket under your own AWS account. To use this option, you must first give Amazon GameLift access to that Amazon S3 bucket. To create a new build record using files in your Amazon S3 bucket, call CreateBuild and specify a build name, operating system, and the storage location of your game build.
Upload a build file directly to Amazon GameLift's Amazon S3 account. To use this option, you first call CreateBuild with a build name and operating system. This action creates a new build record and returns an Amazon S3 storage location (bucket and key only) and temporary access credentials. Use the credentials to manually upload your build file to the storage location (see the Amazon S3 topic Uploading Objects ). You can upload files to a location only once.
If successful, this operation creates a new build record with a unique build ID and places it in INITIALIZED status. You can use DescribeBuild to check the status of your build. A build must be in READY status before it can be used to create fleets.

Creates a new fleet to run your game servers. whether they are custom game builds or Realtime Servers with game-specific script. A fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, each of which can host multiple game sessions. When creating a fleet, you choose the hardware specifications, set some configuration options, and specify the game server to deploy on the new fleet.
To create a new fleet, you must provide the following: (1) a fleet name, (2) an EC2 instance type and fleet type (spot or on-demand), (3) the build ID for your game build or script ID if using Realtime Servers, and (4) a run-time configuration, which determines how game servers will run on each instance in the fleet.
Note
When creating a Realtime Servers fleet, we recommend using a minimal version of the Realtime script (see this working code example ). This will make it much easier to troubleshoot any fleet creation issues. Once the fleet is active, you can update your Realtime script as needed.
If the CreateFleet call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks. You can track the process of a fleet by checking the fleet status or by monitoring fleet creation events:
Creates a fleet record. Status: NEW .
Begins writing events to the fleet event log, which can be accessed in the Amazon GameLift console. Sets the fleet's target capacity to 1 (desired instances), which triggers Amazon GameLift to start one new EC2 instance.
Downloads the game build or Realtime script to the new instance and installs it. Statuses: DOWNLOADING , VALIDATING , BUILDING .
Starts launching server processes on the instance. If the fleet is configured to run multiple server processes per instance, Amazon GameLift staggers each launch by a few seconds. Status: ACTIVATING .
Sets the fleet's status to ACTIVE as soon as one server process is ready to host a game session.

(string) --
string
[REQUIRED]
Name of an EC2 instance type that is supported in Amazon GameLift. A fleet instance type determines the computing resources of each instance in the fleet, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. Amazon GameLift supports the following EC2 instance types. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for detailed descriptions.
list
Range of IP addresses and port settings that permit inbound traffic to access game sessions that running on the fleet. For fleets using a custom game build, this parameter is required before game sessions running on the fleet can accept connections. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically sets TCP and UDP ranges for use by the Realtime servers. You can specify multiple permission settings or add more by updating the fleet.
(dict) --
A range of IP addresses and port settings that allow inbound traffic to connect to server processes on an Amazon GameLift. New game sessions that are started on the fleet are assigned an IP address/port number combination, which must fall into the fleet's allowed ranges. For fleets created with a custom game server, the ranges reflect the server's game session assignments. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically opens two port ranges, one for TCP messaging and one for UDP for use by the Realtime servers.
FromPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Starting value for a range of allowed port numbers.
ToPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Ending value for a range of allowed port numbers. Port numbers are end-inclusive. This value must be higher than FromPort .
IpRange (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Range of allowed IP addresses. This value must be expressed in CIDR notation. Example: " 000.000.000.000/[subnet mask] " or optionally the shortened version " 0.0.0.0/[subnet mask] ".
Protocol (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Network communication protocol used by the fleet.
string
Game session protection policy to apply to all instances in this fleet. If this parameter is not set, instances in this fleet default to no protection. You can change a fleet's protection policy using UpdateFleetAttributes, but this change will only affect sessions created after the policy change. You can also set protection for individual instances using UpdateGameSession.
NoProtection -- The game session can be terminated during a scale-down event.
FullProtection -- If the game session is in an ACTIVE status, it cannot be terminated during a scale-down event.
dict
Instructions for launching server processes on each instance in the fleet. Server processes run either a custom game build executable or a Realtime Servers script. The run-time configuration lists the types of server processes to run on an instance and includes the following configuration settings: the server executable or launch script file, launch parameters, and the number of processes to run concurrently on each instance. A CreateFleet request must include a run-time configuration with at least one server process configuration.
ServerProcesses (list) --
Collection of server process configurations that describe which server processes to run on each instance in a fleet.
(dict) --
A set of instructions for launching server processes on each instance in a fleet. Server processes run either a custom game build executable or a Realtime Servers script. Each instruction set identifies the location of the custom game build executable or Realtime launch script, optional launch parameters, and the number of server processes with this configuration to maintain concurrently on the instance. Server process configurations make up a fleet's RuntimeConfiguration .
LaunchPath (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Location of the server executable in a custom game build or the name of the Realtime script file that contains the Init() function. Game builds and Realtime scripts are installed on instances at the root:
Windows (for custom game builds only): C:\game . Example: " C:\game\MyGame\server.exe "
Linux: /local/game . Examples: " /local/game/MyGame/server.exe " or " /local/game/MyRealtimeScript.js "
Parameters (string) --
Optional list of parameters to pass to the server executable or Realtime script on launch.
ConcurrentExecutions (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Number of server processes using this configuration to run concurrently on an instance.
MaxConcurrentGameSessionActivations (integer) --
Maximum number of game sessions with status ACTIVATING to allow on an instance simultaneously. This setting limits the amount of instance resources that can be used for new game activations at any one time.
GameSessionActivationTimeoutSeconds (integer) --
Maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a game session can remain in status ACTIVATING . If the game session is not active before the timeout, activation is terminated and the game session status is changed to TERMINATED .
dict
Policy that limits the number of game sessions an individual player can create over a span of time for this fleet.
NewGameSessionsPerCreator (integer) --
Maximum number of game sessions that an individual can create during the policy period.
PolicyPeriodInMinutes (integer) --
Time span used in evaluating the resource creation limit policy.
list
Name of an Amazon CloudWatch metric group to add this fleet to. A metric group aggregates the metrics for all fleets in the group. Specify an existing metric group name, or provide a new name to create a new metric group. A fleet can only be included in one metric group at a time.

string
Unique identifier for the AWS account with the VPC that you want to peer your Amazon GameLift fleet with. You can find your Account ID in the AWS Management Console under account settings.
string
Unique identifier for a VPC with resources to be accessed by your Amazon GameLift fleet. The VPC must be in the same region where your fleet is deployed. Look up a VPC ID using the VPC Dashboard in the AWS Management Console. Learn more about VPC peering in VPC Peering with Amazon GameLift Fleets.
string
Indicates whether to use on-demand instances or spot instances for this fleet. If empty, the default is ON_DEMAND. Both categories of instances use identical hardware and configurations based on the instance type selected for this fleet. Learn more about On-Demand versus Spot Instances.
string
Unique identifier for an AWS IAM role that manages access to your AWS services. With an instance role ARN set, any application that runs on an instance in this fleet can assume the role, including install scripts, server processes, daemons (background processes). Create a role or look up a role's ARN using the IAM dashboard in the AWS Management Console.

{'InstanceAccess': {'OperatingSystem': {'AMAZON_LINUX_2'}}}
Requests remote access to a fleet instance. Remote access is useful for debugging, gathering benchmarking data, or watching activity in real time.
Access requires credentials that match the operating system of the instance. For a Windows instance, Amazon GameLift returns a user name and password as strings for use with a Windows Remote Desktop client. For a Linux instance, Amazon GameLift returns a user name and RSA private key, also as strings, for use with an SSH client. The private key must be saved in the proper format to a .pem file before using. If you're making this request using the AWS CLI, saving the secret can be handled as part of the GetInstanceAccess request. (See the example later in this topic). For more information on remote access, see Remotely Accessing an Instance.
To request access to a specific instance, specify the IDs of both the instance and the fleet it belongs to. You can retrieve a fleet's instance IDs by calling DescribeInstances. If successful, an InstanceAccess object is returned containing the instance's IP address and a set of credentials.

client.list_builds(
Status='INITIALIZED'|'READY'|'FAILED',
Limit=123,
NextToken='string'
)
string
Build status to filter results by. To retrieve all builds, leave this parameter empty.
Possible build statuses include the following:
INITIALIZED -- A new build has been defined, but no files have been uploaded. You cannot create fleets for builds that are in this status. When a build is successfully created, the build status is set to this value.
READY -- The game build has been successfully uploaded. You can now create new fleets for this build.
FAILED -- The game build upload failed. You cannot create new fleets for this build.
integer
Maximum number of results to return. Use this parameter with NextToken to get results as a set of sequential pages.
string
Token that indicates the start of the next sequential page of results. Use the token that is returned with a previous call to this action. To start at the beginning of the result set, do not specify a value.
