{'Tags': [{'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string'}]}
Creates an alias for a fleet. In most situations, you can use an alias ID in place of a fleet ID. An alias provides a level of abstraction for a fleet that is useful when redirecting player traffic from one fleet to another, such as when updating your game build.
Amazon GameLift supports two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. A simple alias points to an active fleet. A terminal alias is used to display messaging or link to a URL instead of routing players to an active fleet. For example, you might use a terminal alias when a game version is no longer supported and you want to direct players to an upgrade site.
To create a fleet alias, specify an alias name, routing strategy, and optional description. Each simple alias can point to only one fleet, but a fleet can have multiple aliases. If successful, a new alias record is returned, including an alias ID and an ARN. You can reassign an alias to another fleet by calling UpdateAlias .

Response {'Build': {'BuildArn': '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 directly from a file directory, use the AWS CLI command upload-build . This helper command uploads build files and creates a new build record in one step, and automatically handles the necessary permissions.
The CreateBuild operation should be used only in the following scenarios:
To create a new game build with build files that are 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. Then call CreateBuild and specify a build name, operating system, and the Amazon S3 storage location of your game build.
To upload build files directly to Amazon GameLift's Amazon S3 account. To use this option, first call CreateBuild and specify 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 provided storage location (see the Amazon S3 topic Uploading Objects ). You can upload build files to the GameLift Amazon S3 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.

Response {'FleetAttributes': {'BuildArn': 'string', 'ScriptArn': '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 runtime configuration, which determines how game servers will run on each instance in the fleet.
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 process 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]
The 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 are 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 hosting resource. 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]
A starting value for a range of allowed port numbers.
ToPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
An ending value for a range of allowed port numbers. Port numbers are end-inclusive. This value must be higher than FromPort .
IpRange (string) -- [REQUIRED]
A 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]
The network communication protocol used by the fleet.
string
A 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 script. The runtime configuration defines the server executables or launch script file, launch parameters, and the number of processes to run concurrently on each instance. When creating a fleet, the runtime configuration must have at least one server process configuration; otherwise the request fails with an invalid request exception. (This parameter replaces the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters , although requests that contain values for these parameters instead of a runtime configuration will continue to work.) This parameter is required unless the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters are defined. Runtime configuration replaced these parameters, but fleets that use them will continue to work.
ServerProcesses (list) --
A 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]
The 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) --
An optional list of parameters to pass to the server executable or Realtime script on launch.
ConcurrentExecutions (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The number of server processes that use this configuration to run concurrently on an instance.
MaxConcurrentGameSessionActivations (integer) --
The 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) --
The 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
A policy that limits the number of game sessions an individual player can create over a span of time for this fleet.
NewGameSessionsPerCreator (integer) --
The maximum number of game sessions that an individual can create during the policy period.
PolicyPeriodInMinutes (integer) --
The time span used in evaluating the resource creation limit policy.
list
The 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) --
string
A 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
A unique identifier for a VPC with resources to be accessed by your Amazon 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 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
A 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, and daemons (background processes). Create a role or look up a role's ARN from the IAM dashboard in the AWS Management Console. Learn more about using on-box credentials for your game servers at Access external resources from a game server.
dict
Indicates whether to generate a TLS/SSL certificate for the new fleet. TLS certificates are used for encrypting traffic between game clients and game servers running on GameLift. If this parameter is not specified, the default value, DISABLED, is used. This fleet setting cannot be changed once the fleet is created. Learn more at Securing Client/Server Communication.
Note: This feature requires the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) service, which is available in the AWS global partition but not in all other partitions. When working in a partition that does not support this feature, a request for a new fleet with certificate generation results fails with a 4xx unsupported Region error.
Valid values include:
GENERATED - Generate a TLS/SSL certificate for this fleet.
DISABLED - (default) Do not generate a TLS/SSL certificate for this fleet.
CertificateType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

{'GameSession': {'FleetArn': 'string'}}
Creates a multiplayer game session for players. This action creates a game session record and assigns an available server process in the specified fleet to host the game session. A fleet must have an ACTIVE status before a game session can be created in it.
To create a game session, specify either fleet ID or alias ID and indicate a maximum number of players to allow in the game session. You can also provide a name and game-specific properties for this game session. If successful, a GameSession object is returned containing the game session properties and other settings you specified.
Idempotency tokens. You can add a token that uniquely identifies game session requests. This is useful for ensuring that game session requests are idempotent. Multiple requests with the same idempotency token are processed only once; subsequent requests return the original result. All response values are the same with the exception of game session status, which may change.
Resource creation limits. If you are creating a game session on a fleet with a resource creation limit policy in force, then you must specify a creator ID. Without this ID, Amazon GameLift has no way to evaluate the policy for this new game session request.
Player acceptance policy. By default, newly created game sessions are open to new players. You can restrict new player access by using UpdateGameSession to change the game session's player session creation policy.
Game session logs. Logs are retained for all active game sessions for 14 days. To access the logs, call GetGameSessionLogUrl to download the log files.

{'Tags': [{'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string'}]}
Establishes a new queue for processing requests to place new game sessions. A queue identifies where new game sessions can be hosted -- by specifying a list of destinations (fleets or aliases) -- and how long requests can wait in the queue before timing out. You can set up a queue to try to place game sessions on fleets in multiple Regions. To add placement requests to a queue, call StartGameSessionPlacement and reference the queue name.
Destination order. When processing a request for a game session, Amazon GameLift tries each destination in order until it finds one with available resources to host the new game session. A queue's default order is determined by how destinations are listed. The default order is overridden when a game session placement request provides player latency information. Player latency information enables Amazon GameLift to prioritize destinations where players report the lowest average latency, as a result placing the new game session where the majority of players will have the best possible gameplay experience.
Player latency policies. For placement requests containing player latency information, use player latency policies to protect individual players from very high latencies. With a latency cap, even when a destination can deliver a low latency for most players, the game is not placed where any individual player is reporting latency higher than a policy's maximum. A queue can have multiple latency policies, which are enforced consecutively starting with the policy with the lowest latency cap. Use multiple policies to gradually relax latency controls; for example, you might set a policy with a low latency cap for the first 60 seconds, a second policy with a higher cap for the next 60 seconds, etc.
To create a new queue, provide a name, timeout value, a list of destinations and, if desired, a set of latency policies. If successful, a new queue object is returned.

Response {'Configuration': {'ConfigurationArn': 'string', 'RuleSetArn': 'string'}}
Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. A matchmaking configuration sets out guidelines for matching players and getting the matches into games. You can set up multiple matchmaking configurations to handle the scenarios needed for your game. Each matchmaking ticket ( StartMatchmaking or StartMatchBackfill ) specifies a configuration for the match and provides player attributes to support the configuration being used.
To create a matchmaking configuration, at a minimum you must specify the following: configuration name; a rule set that governs how to evaluate players and find acceptable matches; a game session queue to use when placing a new game session for the match; and the maximum time allowed for a matchmaking attempt.
There are two ways to track the progress of matchmaking tickets: (1) polling ticket status with DescribeMatchmaking; or (2) receiving notifications with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). To use notifications, you first need to set up an SNS topic to receive the notifications, and provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration. Since notifications promise only "best effort" delivery, we recommend calling DescribeMatchmaking if no notifications are received within 30 seconds.

Response {'RuleSet': {'RuleSetArn': 'string'}}
Creates a new rule set for FlexMatch matchmaking. A rule set describes the type of match to create, such as the number and size of teams. It also sets the parameters for acceptable player matches, such as minimum skill level or character type. A rule set is used by a MatchmakingConfiguration.
To create a matchmaking rule set, provide unique rule set name and the rule set body in JSON format. Rule sets must be defined in the same Region as the matchmaking configuration they are used with.
Since matchmaking rule sets cannot be edited, it is a good idea to check the rule set syntax using ValidateMatchmakingRuleSet before creating a new rule set.

{'Tags': [{'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string'}]}
Response {'Script': {'ScriptArn': 'string'}}
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.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Represents the returned data in response to a request action.
RuleSets (list) --
A collection of requested matchmaking rule set objects.
(dict) --
Set of rule statements, used with FlexMatch, that determine how to build your player matches. Each rule set describes a type of group to be created and defines the parameters for acceptable player matches. Rule sets are used in MatchmakingConfiguration objects.
A rule set may define the following elements for a match. For detailed information and examples showing how to construct a rule set, see Build a FlexMatch Rule Set.
Teams -- Required. A rule set must define one or multiple teams for the match and set minimum and maximum team sizes. For example, a rule set might describe a 4x4 match that requires all eight slots to be filled.
Player attributes -- Optional. These attributes specify a set of player characteristics to evaluate when looking for a match. Matchmaking requests that use a rule set with player attributes must provide the corresponding attribute values. For example, an attribute might specify a player's skill or level.
Rules -- Optional. Rules define how to evaluate potential players for a match based on player attributes. A rule might specify minimum requirements for individual players, teams, or entire matches. For example, a rule might require each player to meet a certain skill level, each team to have at least one player in a certain role, or the match to have a minimum average skill level. or may describe an entire group--such as all teams must be evenly matched or have at least one player in a certain role.
Expansions -- Optional. Expansions allow you to relax the rules after a period of time when no acceptable matches are found. This feature lets you balance getting players into games in a reasonable amount of time instead of making them wait indefinitely for the best possible match. For example, you might use an expansion to increase the maximum skill variance between players after 30 seconds.
RuleSetName (string) --
A unique identifier for a matchmaking rule set
RuleSetArn (string) --
Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) that is assigned to a GameLift matchmaking rule set resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. In a GameLift rule set ARN, the resource ID matches the RuleSetName value.
RuleSetBody (string) --
A collection of matchmaking rules, formatted as a JSON string. Comments are not allowed in JSON, but most elements support a description field.
CreationTime (datetime) --
The time stamp indicating when this data object was created. The format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").
NextToken (string) --
A token that indicates where to resume retrieving results on the next call to this action. If no token is returned, these results represent the end of the list.
{'PlayerSessions': {'FleetArn': 'string'}}

The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) associated with the GameLift fleet resource that this alias points to.
{'GameSessions': {'FleetArn': 'string'}}
Retrieves all active game sessions that match a set of search criteria and sorts them in a specified order. You can search or sort by the following game session attributes:
gameSessionId -- A unique identifier for the game session. You can use either a GameSessionId or GameSessionArn value.
gameSessionName -- Name assigned to a game session. This value is set when requesting a new game session with CreateGameSession or updating with UpdateGameSession. Game session names do not need to be unique to a game session.
gameSessionProperties -- Custom data defined in a game session's GameProperty parameter. GameProperty values are stored as key:value pairs; the filter expression must indicate the key and a string to search the data values for. For example, to search for game sessions with custom data containing the key:value pair "gameMode:brawl", specify the following: gameSessionProperties.gameMode = "brawl" . All custom data values are searched as strings.
maximumSessions -- Maximum number of player sessions allowed for a game session. This value is set when requesting a new game session with CreateGameSession or updating with UpdateGameSession.
creationTimeMillis -- Value indicating when a game session was created. It is expressed in Unix time as milliseconds.
playerSessionCount -- Number of players currently connected to a game session. This value changes rapidly as players join the session or drop out.
hasAvailablePlayerSessions -- Boolean value indicating whether a game session has reached its maximum number of players. It is highly recommended that all search requests include this filter attribute to optimize search performance and return only sessions that players can join.
Note
Returned values for playerSessionCount and hasAvailablePlayerSessions change quickly as players join sessions and others drop out. Results should be considered a snapshot in time. Be sure to refresh search results often, and handle sessions that fill up before a player can join.
To search or sort, specify either a fleet ID or an alias ID, and provide a search filter expression, a sort expression, or both. If successful, a collection of GameSession objects matching the request is returned. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.
You can search for game sessions one fleet at a time only. To find game sessions across multiple fleets, you must search each fleet separately and combine the results. This search feature finds only game sessions that are in ACTIVE status. To locate games in statuses other than active, use DescribeGameSessionDetails.

NextToken='string'
)
string
A unique identifier for a fleet to search for active game sessions. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
string
A unique identifier for an alias associated with the fleet to search for active game sessions. You can use either the alias ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
string
String containing the search criteria for the session search. If no filter expression is included, the request returns results for all game sessions in the fleet that are in ACTIVE status.
A filter expression can contain one or multiple conditions. Each condition consists of the following:
Operand -- Name of a game session attribute. Valid values are gameSessionName , gameSessionId , gameSessionProperties , maximumSessions , creationTimeMillis , playerSessionCount , hasAvailablePlayerSessions .
Comparator -- Valid comparators are: = , <> , < , > , <= , >= .
Value -- Value to be searched for. Values may be numbers, boolean values (true/false) or strings depending on the operand. String values are case sensitive and must be enclosed in single quotes. Special characters must be escaped. Boolean and string values can only be used with the comparators = and <> . For example, the following filter expression searches on gameSessionName : " FilterExpression": "gameSessionName = 'Matt\\'s Awesome Game 1'" .
To chain multiple conditions in a single expression, use the logical keywords AND , OR , and NOT and parentheses as needed. For example: x AND y AND NOT z , NOT (x OR y) .
Session search evaluates conditions from left to right using the following precedence rules:
= , <> , < , > , <= , >=
Parentheses
NOT
AND
OR
For example, this filter expression retrieves game sessions hosting at least ten players that have an open player slot: "maximumSessions>=10 AND hasAvailablePlayerSessions=true" .
string
Instructions on how to sort the search results. If no sort expression is included, the request returns results in random order. A sort expression consists of the following elements:
Operand -- Name of a game session attribute. Valid values are gameSessionName , gameSessionId , gameSessionProperties , maximumSessions , creationTimeMillis , playerSessionCount , hasAvailablePlayerSessions .
Order -- Valid sort orders are ASC (ascending) and DESC (descending).
For example, this sort expression returns the oldest active sessions first: "SortExpression": "creationTimeMillis ASC" . Results with a null value for the sort operand are returned at the end of the list.
integer
The maximum number of results to return. Use this parameter with NextToken to get results as a set of sequential pages. The maximum number of results returned is 20, even if this value is not set or is set higher than 20.
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.

Provides additional information about game session status. INTERRUPTED indicates that the game session was hosted on a spot instance that was reclaimed, causing the active game session to be terminated.
GameProperties (list) --
Set of custom properties for a game session, formatted as key:value pairs. These properties are passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ). You can search for active game sessions based on this custom data with SearchGameSessions.
(dict) --
Set of key-value pairs that contain information about a game session. When included in a game session request, these properties communicate details to be used when setting up the new game session. For example, a game property might specify a game mode, level, or map. Game properties are passed to the game server process when initiating a new game session. For more information, see the Amazon GameLift Developer Guide.
Key (string) --
The game property identifier.
Value (string) --
The game property value.
IpAddress (string) --
IP address of the instance that is running the game session. When connecting to a Amazon GameLift game server, a client needs to reference an IP address (or DNS name) and port number.

In addition the matchmaking configuration used, it contains data on all players assigned to the match, including player attributes and team assignments. For more details on matchmaker data, see Match Data. Matchmaker data is useful when requesting match backfills, and is updated whenever new players are added during a successful backfill (see StartMatchBackfill ).
NextToken (string) --
Token that indicates where to resume retrieving results on the next call to this action. If no token is returned, these results represent the end of the list.
{'MatchmakingTicket': {'ConfigurationArn': 'string'}}
Finds new players to fill open slots in an existing game session. This operation can be used to add players to matched games that start with fewer than the maximum number of players or to replace players when they drop out. By backfilling with the same matchmaker used to create the original match, you ensure that new players meet the match criteria and maintain a consistent experience throughout the game session. You can backfill a match anytime after a game session has been created.
To request a match backfill, specify a unique ticket ID, the existing game session's ARN, a matchmaking configuration, and a set of data that describes all current players in the game session. If successful, a match backfill ticket is created and returned with status set to QUEUED. The ticket is placed in the matchmaker's ticket pool and processed. Track the status of the ticket to respond as needed.
The process of finding backfill matches is essentially identical to the initial matchmaking process. The matchmaker searches the pool and groups tickets together to form potential matches, allowing only one backfill ticket per potential match. Once the a match is formed, the matchmaker creates player sessions for the new players. All tickets in the match are updated with the game session's connection information, and the GameSession object is updated to include matchmaker data on the new players. For more detail on how match backfill requests are processed, see How Amazon GameLift FlexMatch Works.

{'MatchmakingTicket': {'ConfigurationArn': 'string'}}
Uses FlexMatch to create a game match for a group of players based on custom matchmaking rules, and starts a new game for the matched players. Each matchmaking request specifies the type of match to build (team configuration, rules for an acceptable match, etc.). The request also specifies the players to find a match for and where to host the new game session for optimal performance. A matchmaking request might start with a single player or a group of players who want to play together. FlexMatch finds additional players as needed to fill the match. Match type, rules, and the queue used to place a new game session are defined in a MatchmakingConfiguration .
To start matchmaking, provide a unique ticket ID, specify a matchmaking configuration, and include the players to be matched. You must also include a set of player attributes relevant for the matchmaking configuration. If successful, a matchmaking ticket is returned with status set to QUEUED . Track the status of the ticket to respond as needed and acquire game session connection information for successfully completed matches.
Tracking ticket status -- A couple of options are available for tracking the status of matchmaking requests:
Polling -- Call DescribeMatchmaking . This operation returns the full ticket object, including current status and (for completed tickets) game session connection info. We recommend polling no more than once every 10 seconds.
Notifications -- Get event notifications for changes in ticket status using Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). Notifications are easy to set up (see CreateMatchmakingConfiguration ) and typically deliver match status changes faster and more efficiently than polling. We recommend that you use polling to back up to notifications (since delivery is not guaranteed) and call DescribeMatchmaking only when notifications are not received within 30 seconds.
Processing a matchmaking request -- FlexMatch handles a matchmaking request as follows:
Your client code submits a StartMatchmaking request for one or more players and tracks the status of the request ticket.
FlexMatch uses this ticket and others in process to build an acceptable match. When a potential match is identified, all tickets in the proposed match are advanced to the next status.
If the match requires player acceptance (set in the matchmaking configuration), the tickets move into status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE . This status triggers your client code to solicit acceptance from all players in every ticket involved in the match, and then call AcceptMatch for each player. If any player rejects or fails to accept the match before a specified timeout, the proposed match is dropped (see AcceptMatch for more details).
Once a match is proposed and accepted, the matchmaking tickets move into status PLACING . FlexMatch locates resources for a new game session using the game session queue (set in the matchmaking configuration) and creates the game session based on the match data.
When the match is successfully placed, the matchmaking tickets move into COMPLETED status. Connection information (including game session endpoint and player session) is added to the matchmaking tickets. Matched players can use the connection information to join the game.

Name of the MatchmakingConfiguration that is used with this ticket. Matchmaking configurations determine how players are grouped into a match and how a new game session is created for the match.
ConfigurationArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) associated with the GameLift matchmaking configuration resource that is used with this ticket.
Status (string) --
Current status of the matchmaking request.
QUEUED -- The matchmaking request has been received and is currently waiting to be processed.

REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE -- A match has been proposed and the players must accept the match (see AcceptMatch ). This status is used only with requests that use a matchmaking configuration with a player acceptance requirement.
PLACING -- The FlexMatch engine has matched players and is in the process of placing a new game session for the match.
COMPLETED -- Players have been matched and a game session is ready to host the players. A ticket in this state contains the necessary connection information for players.
FAILED -- The matchmaking request was not completed.
CANCELLED -- The matchmaking request was canceled. This may be the result of a call to StopMatchmaking or a proposed match that one or more players failed to accept.
TIMED_OUT -- The matchmaking request was not successful within the duration specified in the matchmaking configuration.
Note
Matchmaking requests that fail to successfully complete (statuses FAILED, CANCELLED, TIMED_OUT) can be resubmitted as new requests with new ticket IDs.
StatusReason (string) --
Code to explain the current status. For example, a status reason may indicate when a ticket has returned to SEARCHING status after a proposed match fails to receive player acceptances.
StatusMessage (string) --
Additional information about the current status.
StartTime (datetime) --
Time stamp indicating when this matchmaking request was received. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").

If the ticket is in status COMPLETED , the Player objects include the team the players were assigned to in the resulting match.
(dict) --
Represents a player in matchmaking. When starting a matchmaking request, a player has a player ID, attributes, and may have latency data. Team information is added after a match has been successfully completed.
PlayerId (string) --
A unique identifier for a player
PlayerAttributes (dict) --
A collection of key:value pairs containing player information for use in matchmaking. Player attribute keys must match the playerAttributes used in a matchmaking rule set. Example: "PlayerAttributes": {"skill": {"N": "23"}, "gameMode": {"S": "deathmatch"}} .
(string) --
(dict) --
Values for use in Player attribute key-value pairs. This object lets you specify an attribute value using any of the valid data types: string, number, string array, or data map. Each AttributeValue object can use only one of the available properties.
S (string) --
For single string values. Maximum string length is 100 characters.
N (float) --
For number values, expressed as double.
SL (list) --
For a list of up to 10 strings. Maximum length for each string is 100 characters. Duplicate values are not recognized; all occurrences of the repeated value after the first of a repeated value are ignored.

Represents a new player session that is created as a result of a successful FlexMatch match. A successful match automatically creates new player sessions for every player ID in the original matchmaking request.
When players connect to the match's game session, they must include both player ID and player session ID in order to claim their assigned player slot.
PlayerId (string) --
A unique identifier for a player
PlayerSessionId (string) --
A unique identifier for a player session
EstimatedWaitTime (integer) --
Average amount of time (in seconds) that players are currently waiting for a match. If there is not enough recent data, this property may be empty.

{'Script': {'ScriptArn': 'string'}}
Updates Realtime script metadata and content.
To update script metadata, specify the script ID and provide updated name and/or version values.
To update script content, provide an updated zip file by pointing to either a local file or an Amazon S3 bucket location. You can use either method regardless of how the original script was uploaded. Use the Version parameter to track updates to the script.
If the call is successful, the updated metadata is stored in the script record and a revised script is uploaded to the Amazon GameLift service. Once the script is updated and acquired by a fleet instance, the new version is used for all new game sessions.
