Creates a fleet of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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 Amazon GameLift to initiate the fleet creation workflow.

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

A descriptive label that is associated with a fleet. Fleet names do not need to be unique.

type Description

string

param Description

A description for the fleet.

type BuildId

string

param BuildId

The unique identifier for a custom game server build to be deployed on fleet instances. You can use either the build ID or ARN. The build must be uploaded to Amazon GameLift and in READY status. This fleet property cannot be changed later.

type ScriptId

string

param ScriptId

The unique identifier for a Realtime configuration script to be deployed on fleet instances. You can use either the script ID or ARN. Scripts must be uploaded to Amazon GameLift prior to creating the fleet. This fleet property cannot be changed later.

type ServerLaunchPath

string

param ServerLaunchPath

This parameter is no longer used. Specify a server launch path using the RuntimeConfiguration parameter. Requests that use this parameter instead continue to be valid.

type ServerLaunchParameters

string

param ServerLaunchParameters

This parameter is no longer used. Specify server launch parameters using the RuntimeConfiguration parameter. Requests that use this parameter instead continue to be valid.

type LogPaths

list

param LogPaths

This parameter is no longer used. To specify where Amazon GameLift should store log files once a server process shuts down, use the Amazon GameLift server API ProcessReady() and specify one or more directory paths in logParameters . For more information, see Initialize the server process in the Amazon GameLift Developer Guide .

  • (string) --

type EC2InstanceType

string

param EC2InstanceType

The Amazon GameLift-supported Amazon EC2 instance type to use for all fleet instances. Instance type determines the computing resources that will be used to host your game servers, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. See Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Instance Types for detailed descriptions of Amazon EC2 instance types.

type EC2InboundPermissions

list

param EC2InboundPermissions

The allowed IP address ranges and port settings that allow inbound traffic to access game sessions on this fleet. If the fleet is hosting a custom game build, this property must be set before players can connect to game sessions. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically sets TCP and UDP ranges.

  • (dict) --

    A range of IP addresses and port settings that allow inbound traffic to connect to server processes on an instance in a fleet. New game sessions are assigned an IP address/port number combination, which must fall into the fleet's allowed ranges. Fleets with custom game builds must have permissions explicitly set. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically opens two port ranges, one for TCP messaging and one for UDP.

    • FromPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      A starting value for a range of allowed port numbers.

      For fleets using Linux builds, only ports 22 and 1026-60000 are valid.

      For fleets using Windows builds, only ports 1026-60000 are valid.

    • ToPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      An ending value for a range of allowed port numbers. Port numbers are end-inclusive. This value must be equal to or greater than FromPort .

      For fleets using Linux builds, only ports 22 and 1026-60000 are valid.

      For fleets using Windows builds, only ports 1026-60000 are valid.

    • 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.

type NewGameSessionProtectionPolicy

string

param NewGameSessionProtectionPolicy

The status of termination protection for active game sessions on the fleet. By default, this property is set to NoProtection . You can also set game session protection for an individual game session by calling UpdateGameSession.

  • NoProtection - Game sessions can be terminated during active gameplay as a result of a scale-down event.

  • FullProtection - Game sessions in ACTIVE status cannot be terminated during a scale-down event.

type RuntimeConfiguration

dict

param RuntimeConfiguration

Instructions for how to launch and maintain server processes on instances in the fleet. The runtime configuration defines one or more server process configurations, each identifying a build executable or Realtime script file and the number of processes of that type to run concurrently.

Note

The RuntimeConfiguration parameter is required unless the fleet is being configured using the older parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters , which are still supported for backward compatibility.

  • ServerProcesses (list) --

    A collection of server process configurations that identify what 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 an executable in a custom game build or a Realtime Servers script. Server process configurations are part of a fleet's runtime configuration.

      • LaunchPath (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The location of a game build executable or Realtime script. Game builds and Realtime scripts are installed on instances at the root:

        • Windows (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 "

        Note

        Amazon GameLift doesn't support the use of setup scripts that launch the game executable. For custom game builds, this parameter must indicate the executable that calls the server SDK operations initSDK() and ProcessReady() .

      • 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 using this configuration that run concurrently on each instance.

  • MaxConcurrentGameSessionActivations (integer) --

    The number of game sessions in status ACTIVATING to allow on an instance. This setting limits the instance resources that can be used for new game activations at any one time.

  • GameSessionActivationTimeoutSeconds (integer) --

    The maximum amount of time (in seconds) allowed to launch a new game session and have it report ready to host players. During this time, the game session is in status ACTIVATING . If the game session does not become active before the timeout, it is ended and the game session status is changed to TERMINATED .

type ResourceCreationLimitPolicy

dict

param ResourceCreationLimitPolicy

A policy that limits the number of game sessions that an individual player can create on instances in this fleet within a specified span of time.

  • NewGameSessionsPerCreator (integer) --

    A policy that puts limits on the number of game sessions that a player can create within a specified span of time. With this policy, you can control players' ability to consume available resources.

    The policy is evaluated when a player tries to create a new game session. On receiving a CreateGameSession request, Amazon GameLift checks that the player (identified by CreatorId ) has created fewer than game session limit in the specified time period.

  • PolicyPeriodInMinutes (integer) --

    The time span used in evaluating the resource creation limit policy.

type MetricGroups

list

param MetricGroups

The name of an Amazon Web Services CloudWatch metric group to add this fleet to. A metric group is used to aggregate the metrics for multiple fleets. You can specify an existing metric group name or set a new name to create a new metric group. A fleet can be included in only one metric group at a time.

  • (string) --

type PeerVpcAwsAccountId

string

param PeerVpcAwsAccountId

Used when peering your Amazon GameLift fleet with a VPC, the unique identifier for the Amazon Web Services account that owns the VPC. You can find your account ID in the Amazon Web Services Management Console under account settings.

type PeerVpcId

string

param PeerVpcId

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 Amazon Web Services Management Console. Learn more about VPC peering in VPC Peering with Amazon 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.

type CertificateConfiguration

dict

param CertificateConfiguration

Prompts Amazon GameLift to generate a TLS/SSL certificate for the fleet. Amazon GameLift uses the certificates to encrypt traffic between game clients and the game servers running on Amazon GameLift. By default, the CertificateConfiguration is DISABLED . You can't change this property after you create the fleet.

Certificate Manager (ACM) certificates expire after 13 months. Certificate expiration can cause fleets to fail, preventing players from connecting to instances in the fleet. We recommend you replace fleets before 13 months, consider using fleet aliases for a smooth transition.

Note

ACM isn't available in all Amazon Web Services regions. A fleet creation request with certificate generation enabled in an unsupported Region, fails with a 4xx error. For more information about the supported Regions, see Supported Regions in the Certificate Manager User Guide .

  • CertificateType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    Indicates whether a TLS/SSL certificate is generated for a fleet.

    Valid values include:

      The set of properties for the requested compute resource.

      • FleetId (string) --

        A unique identifier for the fleet that the compute belongs to.

      • FleetArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the fleet that the compute belongs to.

      • ComputeName (string) --

        A descriptive label for the compute resource. For instances in a managed EC2 fleet, the compute name is an instance ID.

      • ComputeArn (string) --

        The ARN that is assigned to a compute resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across locations. Instances in managed EC2 fleets are not assigned a ComputeARN.

      • IpAddress (string) --

        The IP address of a compute resource. Amazon GameLift requires a DNS name or IP address for a compute.

      • DnsName (string) --

        The DNS name of a compute resource. Amazon GameLift requires a DNS name or IP address for a compute.

      • ComputeStatus (string) --

        Current status of the compute. A compute must have an ACTIVE status to host game sessions.

      • Location (string) --

        The name of the custom location you added to the fleet that this compute resource resides in.

      • 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" ).

      • OperatingSystem (string) --

        The type of operating system on the compute resource.

      • Type (string) --

        The Amazon EC2 instance type that the fleet uses. For registered computes in an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet, this property is empty.

      • GameLiftServiceSdkEndpoint (string) --

        The Amazon GameLift SDK endpoint connection for a registered compute resource in an Anywhere fleet. The game servers on the compute use this endpoint to connect to the Amazon GameLift service.

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 Amazon GameLift fleets. You can request a limit increase for your account by using the Service limits page in the Amazon 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.

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.

Retrieves information about the EC2 instances in an Amazon GameLift managed fleet, including instance ID, connection data, and status. You can use this operation with a multi-location fleet to get location-specific instance information. As an alternative, use the operations ListCompute and DescribeCompute to retrieve information for compute resources, including EC2 and Anywhere fleets.

You can call this operation in the following ways:

  • To get information on all instances in a fleet's home Region, specify the fleet ID.

  • To get information on all instances in a fleet's remote location, specify the fleet ID and location name.

  • To get information on a specific instance in a fleet, specify the fleet ID and instance ID.

Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, this operation returns Instance objects for each requested instance, listed in no particular order. If you call this operation for an Anywhere fleet, you receive an InvalidRequestException.

Registers a compute resource to an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet. With Anywhere fleets you can incorporate your own computing hardware into an Amazon GameLift game hosting solution.

To register a compute to a fleet, give the compute a name (must be unique within the fleet) and specify the compute resource's DNS name or IP address. Provide the Anywhere fleet ID and a fleet location to associate with the compute being registered. You can optionally include the path to a TLS certificate on the compute resource.

If successful, this operation returns the compute details, including an Amazon GameLift SDK endpoint. Game server processes that run on the compute use this endpoint to communicate with the Amazon GameLift service. Each server process includes the SDK endpoint in its call to the Amazon GameLift server SDK action InitSDK() .
