2019/04/25 - Amazon GameLift - 5 new 5 updated api methods
Changes This release introduces the new Realtime Servers feature, giving game developers a lightweight yet flexible solution that eliminates the need to build a fully custom game server. The AWS SDK updates provide support for scripts, which are used to configure and customize Realtime Servers.
Creates a new script record for your Realtime Servers script. Realtime scripts are JavaScript that provide configuration settings and optional custom game logic for your game. The script is deployed when you create a Realtime Servers fleet to host your game sessions. Script logic is executed during an active game session.
To create a new script record, specify a script name and provide the script file(s). The script files and all dependencies must be zipped into a single file. You can pull the zip file from either of these locations:
A locally available directory. Use the ZipFile parameter for this option.
An Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket under your AWS account. Use the StorageLocation parameter for this option. You'll need to have an Identity Access Management (IAM) role that allows the Amazon GameLift service to access your S3 bucket.
If the call is successful, a new script record is created with a unique script ID. If the script file is provided as a local file, the file is uploaded to an Amazon GameLift-owned S3 bucket and the script record's storage location reflects this location. If the script file is provided as an S3 bucket, Amazon GameLift accesses the file at this storage location as needed for deployment.

dict
Location of the Amazon S3 bucket where a zipped file containing your Realtime scripts is stored. The storage location must specify the Amazon S3 bucket name, the zip file name (the "key"), and a role ARN that allows Amazon GameLift to access the Amazon S3 storage location. The S3 bucket must be in the same region where you want to create a new script. By default, Amazon GameLift uploads the latest version of the zip file; if you have S3 object versioning turned on, you can use the ObjectVersion parameter to specify an earlier version.
Bucket (string) --
Amazon S3 bucket identifier. This is the name of the S3 bucket.
Key (string) --
Name of the zip file containing the build files or script files.
RoleArn (string) --
Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access the S3 bucket.
ObjectVersion (string) --
Version of the file, if object versioning is turned on for the bucket. Amazon GameLift uses this information when retrieving files from an S3 bucket that you own. Use this parameter to specify a specific version of the file; if not set, the latest version of the file is retrieved.
bytes
Data object containing your Realtime scripts and dependencies as a zip file. The zip file can have one or multiple files. Maximum size of a zip file is 5 MB.
When using the AWS CLI tool to create a script, this parameter is set to the zip file name. It must be prepended with the string "fileb://" to indicate that the file data is a binary object. For example: --zip-file fileb://myRealtimeScript.zip .

Deletes a Realtime script. This action permanently deletes the script record. If script files were uploaded, they are also deleted (files stored in an S3 bucket are not deleted).
To delete a script, specify the script ID. Before deleting a script, be sure to terminate all fleets that are deployed with the script being deleted. Fleet instances periodically check for script updates, and if the script record no longer exists, the instance will go into an error state and be unable to host game sessions.

{'StorageLocation': {'ObjectVersion': 'string'}}
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.

{'ScriptId': 'string'}
Response {'FleetAttributes': {'ScriptId': 'string'}}
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.

(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) --
