Creates a fleet of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) instances to host your custom game server or Realtime Servers. Use this operation to configure the computing resources for your fleet and provide instructions for running game servers on each instance.

Most GameLift fleets can deploy instances to multiple locations, including the home Region (where the fleet is created) and an optional set of remote locations. Fleets that are created in the following Amazon Web Services Regions support multiple locations: us-east-1 (N. Virginia), us-west-2 (Oregon), eu-central-1 (Frankfurt), eu-west-1 (Ireland), ap-southeast-2 (Sydney), ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo), and ap-northeast-2 (Seoul). Fleets that are created in other GameLift Regions can deploy instances in the fleet's home Region only. All fleet instances use the same configuration regardless of location; however, you can adjust capacity settings and turn auto-scaling on/off for each location.

To create a fleet, choose the hardware for your instances, specify a game server build or Realtime script to deploy, and provide a runtime configuration to direct GameLift how to start and run game servers on each instance in the fleet. Set permissions for inbound traffic to your game servers, and enable optional features as needed. When creating a multi-location fleet, provide a list of additional remote locations.

If you need to debug your fleet, fetch logs, view performance metrics or other actions on the fleet, create the development fleet with port 22/3389 open. As a best practice, we recommend opening ports for remote access only when you need them and closing them when you're finished.

If successful, this operation creates a new Fleet resource and places it in NEW status, which prompts GameLift to initiate the fleet creation workflow. You can track fleet creation by checking fleet status using DescribeFleetAttributes and DescribeFleetLocationAttributes /, or by monitoring fleet creation events using DescribeFleetEvents. As soon as the fleet status changes to ACTIVE , you can enable automatic scaling for the fleet with PutScalingPolicy and set capacity for the home Region with UpdateFleetCapacity. When the status of each remote location reaches ACTIVE , you can set capacity by location using UpdateFleetCapacity.

param PeerVpcId

A unique identifier for a VPC with resources to be accessed by your GameLift fleet. The VPC must be in the same Region as your fleet. To look up a VPC ID, use the VPC Dashboard in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. Learn more about VPC peering in VPC Peering with GameLift Fleets.

type FleetType

string

param FleetType

Indicates whether to use On-Demand or Spot instances for this fleet. By default, this property is set to ON_DEMAND . Learn more about when to use On-Demand versus Spot Instances. This property cannot be changed after the fleet is created.

type InstanceRoleArn

string

param InstanceRoleArn

A unique identifier for an IAM role that manages access to your Amazon Web Services 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, and daemons (background processes). Create a role or look up a role's ARN by using the IAM dashboard in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. Learn more about using on-box credentials for your game servers at Access external resources from a game server. This property cannot be changed after the fleet is created.

Retrieves the instance limits and current utilization for an Amazon Web Services Region or location. Instance limits control the number of instances, per instance type, per location, that your Amazon Web Services account can use. Learn more at Amazon EC2 Instance Types. The information returned includes the maximum number of instances allowed and your account's current usage across all fleets. This information can affect your ability to scale your GameLift fleets. You can request a limit increase for your account by using the Service limits page in the GameLift console.

Instance limits differ based on whether the instances are deployed in a fleet's home Region or in a remote location. For remote locations, limits also differ based on the combination of home Region and remote location. All requests must specify an Amazon Web Services Region (either explicitly or as your default settings). To get the limit for a remote location, you must also specify the location. For example, the following requests all return different results:

  • Request specifies the Region ap-northeast-1 with no location. The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in us-east-2 , by all of the fleets that reside in ap-northeast-1 .

  • Request specifies the Region us-east-1 with location ca-central-1 . The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in ca-central-1 , by all of the fleets that reside in us-east-2 . These limits do not affect fleets in any other Regions that deploy instances to ca-central-1 .

  • Request specifies the Region eu-west-1 with location ca-central-1 . The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in ca-central-1 , by all of the fleets that reside in eu-west-1 .

This operation can be used in the following ways:

  • To get limit and usage data for all instance types that are deployed in an Amazon Web Services Region by fleets that reside in the same Region: Specify the Region only. Optionally, specify a single instance type to retrieve information for.

  • To get limit and usage data for all instance types that are deployed to a remote location by fleets that reside in different Amazon Web Services Region: Provide both the Amazon Web Services Region and the remote location. Optionally, specify a single instance type to retrieve information for.

If successful, an EC2InstanceLimits object is returned with limits and usage data for each requested instance type.

Retrieves core fleet-wide properties, including the computing hardware and deployment configuration for all instances in the fleet.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

  • To get attributes for one or more specific fleets, provide a list of fleet IDs or fleet ARNs.

  • To get attributes for all fleets, do not provide a fleet identifier.

When requesting attributes for multiple fleets, use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a FleetAttributes object is returned for each fleet requested, unless the fleet identifier is not found.

Note

Some API operations limit the number of fleet IDs that allowed in one request. If a request exceeds this limit, the request fails and the error message contains the maximum allowed number.

Retrieves the resource capacity settings for one or more fleets. The data returned includes the current fleet capacity (number of EC2 instances), and settings that can control how capacity scaling. For fleets with remote locations, this operation retrieves data for the fleet's home Region only. See DescribeFleetLocationCapacity to get capacity settings for a fleet's remote locations.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

  • To get capacity data for one or more specific fleets, provide a list of fleet IDs or fleet ARNs.

  • To get capacity data for all fleets, do not provide a fleet identifier.

When requesting multiple fleets, use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a FleetCapacity object is returned for each requested fleet ID. Each FleetCapacity object includes a Location property, which is set to the fleet's home Region. When a list of fleet IDs is provided, attribute objects are returned only for fleets that currently exist.

Note

Some API operations may limit the number of fleet IDs that are allowed in one request. If a request exceeds this limit, the request fails and the error message includes the maximum allowed.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Represents the returned data in response to a request operation.

    • Instances (list) --

      A collection of objects containing properties for each instance returned.

      • (dict) --

        Represents an EC2 instance of virtual computing resources that hosts one or more game servers. In GameLift, a fleet can contain zero or more instances.

        DescribeInstances

        • FleetId (string) --

          A unique identifier for the fleet that the instance is in.

        • FleetArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) that is assigned to a GameLift fleet resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::fleet/fleet-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912 .

        • InstanceId (string) --

          A unique identifier for the instance.

        • IpAddress (string) --

          IP address that is assigned to the instance.

        • DnsName (string) --

          The DNS identifier assigned to the instance that is running the game session. Values have the following format:

          • TLS-enabled fleets: <unique identifier>.<region identifier>.amazongamelift.com .

          • Non-TLS-enabled fleets: ec2-<unique identifier>.compute.amazonaws.com . (See Amazon EC2 Instance IP Addressing.)

          When connecting to a game session that is running on a TLS-enabled fleet, you must use the DNS name, not the IP address.

        • OperatingSystem (string) --

          Operating system that is running on this instance.

        • Type (string) --

          Amazon EC2 instance type that defines the computing resources of this instance.

        • Status (string) --

          Current status of the instance. Possible statuses include the following:

          • PENDING -- The instance is in the process of being created and launching server processes as defined in the fleet's run-time configuration.

          • ACTIVE -- The instance has been successfully created and at least one server process has successfully launched and reported back to GameLift that it is ready to host a game session. The instance is now considered ready to host game sessions.

          • TERMINATING -- The instance is in the process of shutting down. This may happen to reduce capacity during a scaling down event or to recycle resources in the event of a problem.

        • CreationTime (datetime) --

          A time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057" ).

        • Location (string) --

          The fleet location of the instance, expressed as an Amazon Web Services Region code, such as us-west-2 .

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token that indicates where to resume retrieving results on the next call to this operation. If no token is returned, these results represent the end of the list.
