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, 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 resource. 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
[REQUIRED]
A descriptive label that is associated with a fleet. Fleet names do not need to be unique.
string
A human-readable description of a fleet.
string
A unique identifier for a build to be deployed on the new fleet. You can use either the build ID or ARN value. The custom game server build must have been successfully uploaded to Amazon GameLift and be in a READY status. This fleet setting cannot be changed once the fleet is created.
string
A unique identifier for a Realtime script to be deployed on the new fleet. You can use either the script ID or ARN value. The Realtime script must have been successfully uploaded to Amazon GameLift. This fleet setting cannot be changed once the fleet is created.
string
This parameter is no longer used. Instead, specify a server launch path using the RuntimeConfiguration parameter. Requests that specify a server launch path and launch parameters instead of a runtime configuration will continue to work.
string
This parameter is no longer used. Instead, specify server launch parameters in the RuntimeConfiguration parameter. (Requests that specify a server launch path and launch parameters instead of a runtime configuration will continue to work.)
list
This parameter is no longer used. Instead, 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. See more information in the Server API Reference.
(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. Fleets with an instance role ARN allow applications that are running on the fleet's instances to assume the role. Learn more about using on-box credentials for your game servers at Access external resources from a game server. To call this operation with instance role ARN, you must have IAM PassRole permissions. See IAM policy examples for GameLift.
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]
Indicates whether a TLS/SSL certificate was generated for a fleet.
list
A list of labels to assign to the new fleet resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging AWS resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging AWS Resources in the AWS General Reference. Once the resource is created, you can use TagResource, UntagResource, and ListTagsForResource to add, remove, and view tags. The maximum tag limit may be lower than stated. See the AWS General Reference for actual tagging limits.

{'FlexMatchMode': 'STANDALONE | WITH_QUEUE'}
Response {'Configuration': {'FlexMatchMode': 'STANDALONE | WITH_QUEUE'}}
Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. Whether your are using FlexMatch with GameLift hosting or as a standalone matchmaking service, the matchmaking configuration sets out rules for matching players and forming teams. If you're also using GameLift hosting, it defines how to start game sessions for each match. Your matchmaking system can use multiple configurations to handle different game scenarios. All matchmaking requests ( StartMatchmaking or StartMatchBackfill) identify the matchmaking configuration to use and provide player attributes consistent with that configuration.
To create a matchmaking configuration, you must provide the following: configuration name and FlexMatch mode (with or without GameLift hosting); a rule set that specifies how to evaluate players and find acceptable matches; whether player acceptance is required; and the maximum time allowed for a matchmaking attempt. When using FlexMatch with GameLift hosting, you also need to identify the game session queue to use when starting a game session for the match.
In addition, you must set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) to receive matchmaking notifications, and provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration. An alternative method, continuously polling ticket status with DescribeMatchmaking, is only suitable for games in development with low matchmaking usage.

string
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier for a matchmaking configuration. This name is used to identify the configuration associated with a matchmaking request or ticket.
string
A human-readable description of the matchmaking configuration.
list
Amazon Resource Name ( ARN) that is assigned to a GameLift game session queue resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Queues can be located in any Region. Queues are used to start new GameLift-hosted game sessions for matches that are created with this matchmaking configuration. If FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE, do not set this parameter.
(string) --
integer
[REQUIRED]
The maximum duration, in seconds, that a matchmaking ticket can remain in process before timing out. Requests that fail due to timing out can be resubmitted as needed.
integer
The length of time (in seconds) to wait for players to accept a proposed match, if acceptance is required. If any player rejects the match or fails to accept before the timeout, the tickets are returned to the ticket pool and continue to be evaluated for an acceptable match.
boolean
[REQUIRED]
A flag that determines whether a match that was created with this configuration must be accepted by the matched players. To require acceptance, set to TRUE. With this option enabled, matchmaking tickets use the status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE to indicate when a completed potential match is waiting for player acceptance.
string
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier for a matchmaking rule set to use with this configuration. You can use either the rule set name or ARN value. A matchmaking configuration can only use rule sets that are defined in the same Region.
string
An SNS topic ARN that is set up to receive matchmaking notifications.
integer
The number of player slots in a match to keep open for future players. For example, assume that the configuration's rule set specifies a match for a single 12-person team. If the additional player count is set to 2, only 10 players are initially selected for the match. This parameter is not used if FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
string
Information to be added to all events related to this matchmaking configuration.
list
A 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). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used if FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
(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) -- [REQUIRED]
The game property identifier.
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The game property value.
string
A set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used if FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
string
The method used to backfill game sessions that are created with this matchmaking configuration. Specify MANUAL when your game manages backfill requests manually or does not use the match backfill feature. Specify AUTOMATIC to have GameLift create a StartMatchBackfill request whenever a game session has one or more open slots. Learn more about manual and automatic backfill in Backfill Existing Games with FlexMatch. Automatic backfill is not available when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
string
Indicates whether this matchmaking configuration is being used with GameLift hosting or as a standalone matchmaking solution.
STANDALONE - FlexMatch forms matches and returns match information, including players and team assignments, in a MatchmakingSucceeded event.
WITH_QUEUE - FlexMatch forms matches and uses the specified GameLift queue to start a game session for the match.
list
A list of labels to assign to the new matchmaking configuration resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging AWS resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging AWS Resources in the AWS General Reference. Once the resource is created, you can use TagResource, UntagResource, and ListTagsForResource to add, remove, and view tags. The maximum tag limit may be lower than stated.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Represents the returned data in response to a request operation.
Configuration (dict) --
Object that describes the newly created matchmaking configuration.
Name (string) --
A unique identifier for a matchmaking configuration. This name is used to identify the configuration associated with a matchmaking request or ticket.
ConfigurationArn (string) --
Amazon Resource Name ( ARN) that is assigned to a GameLift matchmaking configuration resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. In a GameLift configuration ARN, the resource ID matches the Name value.
Description (string) --
A descriptive label that is associated with matchmaking configuration.
GameSessionQueueArns (list) --
Amazon Resource Name ( ARN) that is assigned to a GameLift game session queue resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Queues can be located in any Region. Queues are used to start new GameLift-hosted game sessions for matches that are created with this matchmaking configuration. Thais property is not set when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
(string) --
RequestTimeoutSeconds (integer) --
The maximum duration, in seconds, that a matchmaking ticket can remain in process before timing out. Requests that fail due to timing out can be resubmitted as needed.
AcceptanceTimeoutSeconds (integer) --
The length of time (in seconds) to wait for players to accept a proposed match, if acceptance is required. If any player rejects the match or fails to accept before the timeout, the tickets are returned to the ticket pool and continue to be evaluated for an acceptable match.
AcceptanceRequired (boolean) --
A flag that indicates whether a match that was created with this configuration must be accepted by the matched players. To require acceptance, set to TRUE. When this option is enabled, matchmaking tickets use the status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE to indicate when a completed potential match is waiting for player acceptance.
RuleSetName (string) --
A unique identifier for a matchmaking rule set to use with this configuration. A matchmaking configuration can only use rule sets that are defined in the same Region.
RuleSetArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN) associated with the GameLift matchmaking rule set resource that this configuration uses.
NotificationTarget (string) --
An SNS topic ARN that is set up to receive matchmaking notifications.
AdditionalPlayerCount (integer) --
The number of player slots in a match to keep open for future players. For example, assume that the configuration's rule set specifies a match for a single 12-person team. If the additional player count is set to 2, only 10 players are initially selected for the match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
CustomEventData (string) --
Information to attach to all events related to the matchmaking configuration.
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").
GameProperties (list) --
A 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). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
(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.
GameSessionData (string) --
A set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
BackfillMode (string) --
The method used to backfill game sessions created with this matchmaking configuration. MANUAL indicates that the game makes backfill requests or does not use the match backfill feature. AUTOMATIC indicates that GameLift creates StartMatchBackfill requests whenever a game session has one or more open slots. Learn more about manual and automatic backfill in Backfill Existing Games with FlexMatch. Automatic backfill is not available when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE.
FlexMatchMode (string) --
Indicates whether this matchmaking configuration is being used with GameLift hosting or as a standalone matchmaking solution.
STANDALONE - FlexMatch forms matches and returns match information, including players and team assignments, in a MatchmakingSucceeded event.
WITH_QUEUE - FlexMatch forms matches and uses the specified GameLift queue to start a game session for the match.
