CreateAlias (new) Link ¶

Creates an alias for a fleet. You can use an alias to anonymize your fleet by referencing an alias instead of a specific fleet when you create game sessions. Amazon GameLift supports two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. Use a simple alias to point to an active fleet. Use a terminal alias to display a message to incoming traffic instead of routing players to an active fleet. This option is useful when a game server is no longer supported but you want to provide better messaging than a standard 404 error.

To create a fleet alias, specify an alias name, routing strategy, and optional description. If successful, a new alias record is returned, including an alias ID, which you can reference when creating a game session. To reassign the alias to another fleet ID, call UpdateAlias.

CreateBuild (new) Link ¶

Initializes a new build record and generates information required to upload a game build to Amazon GameLift. Once the build record has been created and is in an INITIALIZED state, you can upload your game build.

To create a new build, optionally specify a build name and version. This metadata is stored with other properties in the build record and is displayed in the GameLift console (but not visible to players). If successful, this action returns the newly created build record along with an Amazon S3 storage location and AWS account credentials. Use the location and credentials to upload your game build.

CreateFleet (new) Link ¶

Creates a new fleet to host game servers. A fleet consists of a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances of a certain type, which defines the CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity of each host in the fleet. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for more information. Each instance in the fleet hosts a game server created from the specified game build. Once a fleet is in an ACTIVE state, it can begin hosting game sessions.

To create a new fleet, provide a name and the EC2 instance type for the new fleet, and specify the build and server launch path. Builds must be in a READY state before they can be used to build fleets. When configuring the new fleet, you can optionally (1) provide a set of launch parameters to be passed to a game server when activated; (2) limit incoming traffic to a specified range of IP addresses and port numbers; and (3) configure Amazon GameLift to store game session logs by specifying the path to the logs stored in your game server files. If the call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks:

  • Creates a fleet record and sets the state to NEW.

  • Sets the fleet's capacity to 1 "desired" and 1 "active" EC2 instance count.

  • Creates an EC2 instance and begins the process of initializing the fleet and activating a game server on the instance.

  • Begins writing events to the fleet event log, which can be accessed in the GameLift console.

Once a fleet is created, use the following actions to change certain fleet properties (server launch parameters and log paths cannot be changed):

  • UpdateFleetAttributes -- Update fleet metadata, including name and description.

  • UpdateFleetCapacity -- Increase or decrease the number of instances you want the fleet to maintain.

  • UpdateFleetPortSettings -- Change the IP addresses and ports that allow access to incoming traffic.

Updates capacity settings for a fleet. Use this action to specify the number of EC2 instances (hosts) you want this fleet to contain. Before calling this action, you may want to call DescribeEC2InstanceLimits to get the maximum capacity based on the fleet's EC2 instance type.

To update fleet capacity, specify the fleet ID and the desired number of instances. If successful, Amazon GameLift starts or terminates instances so that the fleet's active instance count matches the desired instance count. You can view a fleet's current capacity information by calling DescribeFleetCapacity. If the desired instance count is higher than the instance type's limit, the "Limit Exceeded" exception will occur.
