func (*Client) ClaimGameServer ¶

func (c *Client) ClaimGameServer(ctx context.Context, params *ClaimGameServerInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*ClaimGameServerOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Locates an available game server and temporarily reserves it to host gameplay and players. This operation is called from a game client or client service (such as a matchmaker) to request hosting resources for a new game session. In response, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ locates an available game server, places it in CLAIMED status for 60 seconds, and returns connection information that players can use to connect to the game server.

To claim a game server, identify a game server group. You can also specify a game server ID, although this approach bypasses Amazon GameLift FleetIQ placement optimization. Optionally, include game data to pass to the game server at the start of a game session, such as a game map or player information. Add filter options to further restrict how a game server is chosen, such as only allowing game servers on ACTIVE instances to be claimed.

When a game server is successfully claimed, connection information is returned. A claimed game server's utilization status remains AVAILABLE while the claim status is set to CLAIMED for up to 60 seconds. This time period gives the game server time to update its status to UTILIZED after players join. If the game server's status is not updated within 60 seconds, the game server reverts to unclaimed status and is available to be claimed by another request. The claim time period is a fixed value and is not configurable.

If you try to claim a specific game server, this request will fail in the following cases:

If the game server utilization status is UTILIZED .
If the game server claim status is CLAIMED .
If the game server is running on an instance in DRAINING status and the provided filter option does not allow placing on DRAINING instances.

func (*Client) CreateAlias ¶

func (c *Client) CreateAlias(ctx context.Context, params *CreateAliasInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateAliasOutput, error)

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 .

Create a Build with Files in Amazon S3

func (*Client) CreateBuild ¶

func (c *Client) CreateBuild(ctx context.Context, params *CreateBuildInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateBuildOutput, error)

Creates an Amazon GameLift build resource for your game server software and stores the software for deployment to hosting resources. Combine game server binaries and dependencies into a single .zip file

Use the CLI command upload-build to quickly and simply create a new build and upload your game build .zip file to Amazon GameLift Amazon S3. This helper command eliminates the need to explicitly manage access permissions.

Alternatively, use the CreateBuild action for the following scenarios:

You want to create a build and upload a game build zip file from in an Amazon S3 location that you control. In this scenario, you need to give Amazon GameLift permission to access to the Amazon S3 bucket. With permission in place, call CreateBuild and specify a build name, the build's runtime operating system, and the Amazon S3 storage location where the build file is stored.
You want to create a build and upload a local game build zip file to an Amazon S3 location that's controlled by Amazon GameLift. (See the upload-build CLI command for this scenario.) In this scenario, you need to request temporary access credentials to the Amazon GameLift Amazon S3 location. Specify a build name and the build's runtime operating system. The response provides an Amazon S3 location and a set of temporary access credentials. Use the credentials to upload your build files to the specified Amazon S3 location (see Uploading Objectsin the Amazon S3 Developer Guide). You can't update build files after uploading them to Amazon GameLift Amazon S3.

If successful, this action creates a new build resource with a unique build ID and places it in INITIALIZED status. When the build reaches READY status, you can create fleets with it.

Debug fleet creation issues

func (*Client) CreateContainerFleet ¶ added in v1.37.0

func (c *Client) CreateContainerFleet(ctx context.Context, params *CreateContainerFleetInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateContainerFleetOutput, error)

Creates a managed fleet of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances to host your containerized game servers. Use this operation to define how to deploy a container architecture onto each fleet instance and configure fleet settings. You can create a container fleet in any Amazon Web Services Regions that Amazon GameLift supports for multi-location fleets. A container fleet can be deployed to a single location or multiple locations. Container fleets are deployed with Amazon Linux 2023 as the instance operating system.

Define the fleet's container architecture using container group definitions. Each fleet can have one of the following container group types:

The game server container group runs your game server build and dependent software. Amazon GameLift deploys one or more replicas of this container group to each fleet instance. The number of replicas depends on the computing capabilities of the fleet instance in use.
An optional per-instance container group might be used to run other software that only needs to run once per instance, such as background services, logging, or test processes. One per-instance container group is deployed to each fleet instance.

Each container group can include the definition for one or more containers. A container definition specifies a container image that is stored in an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) public or private repository.

Request options ¶

Use this operation to make the following types of requests. Most fleet settings have default values, so you can create a working fleet with a minimal configuration and default values, which you can customize later.

Create a fleet with no container groups. You can configure a container fleet and then add container group definitions later. In this scenario, no fleet instances are deployed, and the fleet can't host game sessions until you add a game server container group definition. Provide the following required parameter values:
FleetRoleArn
Create a fleet with a game server container group. Provide the following required parameter values:
FleetRoleArn
GameServerContainerGroupDefinitionName
Create a fleet with a game server container group and a per-instance container group. Provide the following required parameter values:
FleetRoleArn
GameServerContainerGroupDefinitionName
PerInstanceContainerGroupDefinitionName

Results ¶

If successful, this operation creates a new container fleet resource, places it in PENDING status, and initiates the fleet creation workflow. For fleets with container groups, this workflow starts a fleet deployment and transitions the status to ACTIVE . Fleets without a container group are placed in CREATED status.

You can update most of the properties of a fleet, including container group definitions, and deploy the update across all fleet instances. Use a fleet update to deploy a new game server version update across the container fleet.

func (*Client) CreateContainerGroupDefinition ¶ added in v1.31.0

func (c *Client) CreateContainerGroupDefinition(ctx context.Context, params *CreateContainerGroupDefinitionInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateContainerGroupDefinitionOutput, error)

Creates a ContainerGroupDefinition that describes a set of containers for hosting your game server with Amazon GameLift managed containers hosting. An Amazon GameLift container group is similar to a container task or pod. Use container group definitions when you create a container fleet with CreateContainerFleet.

A container group definition determines how Amazon GameLift deploys your containers to each instance in a container fleet. You can maintain multiple versions of a container group definition.

There are two types of container groups:

A game server container group has the containers that run your game server application and supporting software. A game server container group can have these container types:
Game server container. This container runs your game server. You can define one game server container in a game server container group.
Support container. This container runs software in parallel with your game server. You can define up to 8 support containers in a game server group.

When building a game server container group definition, you can choose to

bundle your game server executable and all dependent software into a single game
server container. Alternatively, you can separate the software into one game
server container and one or more support containers.

On a container fleet instance, a game server container group can be deployed

multiple times (depending on the compute resources of the instance). This means
that all containers in the container group are replicated together.

- A per-instance container group has containers for processes that aren't
replicated on a container fleet instance. This might include background
services, logging, test processes, or processes that need to persist
independently of the game server container group. When building a per-instance
container group, you can define up to 10 support containers.

This operation requires Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to access container images in Amazon ECR repositories. See IAM permissions for Amazon GameLiftfor help setting the appropriate permissions.

Request options ¶

Use this operation to make the following types of requests. You can specify values for the minimum required parameters and customize optional values later.

Create a game server container group definition. Provide the following required parameter values:
Name
ContainerGroupType ( GAME_SERVER )
OperatingSystem (omit to use default value)
TotalMemoryLimitMebibytes (omit to use default value)
TotalVcpuLimit (omit to use default value)
At least one GameServerContainerDefinition
ContainerName
ImageUrl
PortConfiguration
ServerSdkVersion (omit to use default value)
Create a per-instance container group definition. Provide the following required parameter values:
Name
ContainerGroupType ( PER_INSTANCE )
OperatingSystem (omit to use default value)
TotalMemoryLimitMebibytes (omit to use default value)
TotalVcpuLimit (omit to use default value)
At least one SupportContainerDefinition
ContainerName
ImageUrl

Results ¶

If successful, this request creates a ContainerGroupDefinition resource and assigns a unique ARN value. You can update most properties of a container group definition by calling UpdateContainerGroupDefinition, and optionally save the update as a new version.

func (*Client) CreateFleet ¶

func (c *Client) CreateFleet(ctx context.Context, params *CreateFleetInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateFleetOutput, error)

Creates a fleet of compute resources to host your game servers. Use this operation to set up the following types of fleets based on compute type:

Managed EC2 fleet ¶

An EC2 fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Your game server build is deployed to each fleet instance. Amazon GameLift manages the fleet's instances and controls the lifecycle of game server processes, which host game sessions for players. EC2 fleets can have instances in multiple locations. Each instance in the fleet is designated a Compute .

To create an EC2 fleet, provide these required parameters:

Either BuildId or ScriptId
ComputeType set to EC2 (the default value)
EC2InboundPermissions
EC2InstanceType
FleetType
Name
RuntimeConfiguration with at least one ServerProcesses configuration

If successful, this operation creates a new fleet resource and places it in NEW status while Amazon GameLift initiates the fleet creation workflow. To debug your fleet, fetch logs, view performance metrics or other actions on the fleet, create a 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.

When the fleet status is ACTIVE, you can adjust capacity settings and turn autoscaling on/off for each location.

Anywhere fleet ¶

An Anywhere fleet represents compute resources that are not owned or managed by Amazon GameLift. You might create an Anywhere fleet with your local machine for testing, or use one to host game servers with on-premises hardware or other game hosting solutions.

To create an Anywhere fleet, provide these required parameters:

ComputeType set to ANYWHERE
Locations specifying a custom location
Name

If successful, this operation creates a new fleet resource and places it in ACTIVE status. You can register computes with a fleet in ACTIVE status.

Multi-location fleets

func (*Client) CreateFleetLocations ¶ added in v1.2.0

func (c *Client) CreateFleetLocations(ctx context.Context, params *CreateFleetLocationsInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateFleetLocationsOutput, error)

Adds remote locations to a managed EC2 fleet or managed container fleet and begins populating the new locations with instances. The new instances conform to the fleet's instance type, auto-scaling, and other configuration settings.

You can't add remote locations to a fleet that resides in an Amazon Web Services Region that doesn't support multiple locations. Fleets created prior to March 2021 can't support multiple locations.

To add fleet locations, specify the fleet to be updated and provide a list of one or more locations.

If successful, this operation returns the list of added locations with their status set to NEW . Amazon GameLift initiates the process of starting an instance in each added location. You can track the status of each new location by monitoring location creation events using DescribeFleetEvents.

func (*Client) CreateGameServerGroup ¶

func (c *Client) CreateGameServerGroup(ctx context.Context, params *CreateGameServerGroupInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateGameServerGroupOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Creates a Amazon GameLift FleetIQ game server group for managing game hosting on a collection of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instances for game hosting. This operation creates the game server group, creates an Auto Scaling group in your Amazon Web Services account, and establishes a link between the two groups. You can view the status of your game server groups in the Amazon GameLift console. Game server group metrics and events are emitted to Amazon CloudWatch.

Before creating a new game server group, you must have the following:

An Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud launch template that specifies how to launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instances with your game server build. For more information, see Launching an Instance from a Launch Templatein the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
An IAM role that extends limited access to your Amazon Web Services account to allow Amazon GameLift FleetIQ to create and interact with the Auto Scaling group. For more information, see Create IAM roles for cross-service interactionin the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Developer Guide.

To create a new game server group, specify a unique group name, IAM role and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud launch template, and provide a list of instance types that can be used in the group. You must also set initial maximum and minimum limits on the group's instance count. You can optionally set an Auto Scaling policy with target tracking based on a Amazon GameLift FleetIQ metric.

Once the game server group and corresponding Auto Scaling group are created, you have full access to change the Auto Scaling group's configuration as needed. Several properties that are set when creating a game server group, including maximum/minimum size and auto-scaling policy settings, must be updated directly in the Auto Scaling group. Keep in mind that some Auto Scaling group properties are periodically updated by Amazon GameLift FleetIQ as part of its balancing activities to optimize for availability and cost.

func (*Client) CreateGameSession ¶

func (c *Client) CreateGameSession(ctx context.Context, params *CreateGameSessionInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateGameSessionOutput, error)

Creates a multiplayer game session for players in a specific fleet location. This operation prompts an available server process to start a game session and retrieves connection information for the new game session. As an alternative, consider using the Amazon GameLift game session placement feature with StartGameSessionPlacement, which uses the FleetIQ algorithm and queues to optimize the placement process.

When creating a game session, you specify exactly where you want to place it and provide a set of game session configuration settings. The target fleet must be in ACTIVE status.

You can use this operation in the following ways:

To create a game session on an instance in a fleet's home Region, provide a fleet or alias ID along with your game session configuration.
To create a game session on an instance in a fleet's remote location, provide a fleet or alias ID and a location name, along with your game session configuration.
To create a game session on an instance in an Anywhere fleet, specify the fleet's custom location.

If successful, Amazon GameLift initiates a workflow to start a new game session and returns a GameSession object containing the game session configuration and status. When the game session status is ACTIVE , it is updated with connection information and you can create player sessions for the game session. By default, newly created game sessions are open to new players. You can restrict new player access by using UpdateGameSessionto change the game session's player session creation policy.

Amazon GameLift retains logs for active for 14 days. To access the logs, call GetGameSessionLogUrl to download the log files.

Design a game session queue

func (*Client) CreateGameSessionQueue ¶

func (c *Client) CreateGameSessionQueue(ctx context.Context, params *CreateGameSessionQueueInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateGameSessionQueueOutput, error)

Creates a placement queue that processes requests for new game sessions. A queue uses FleetIQ algorithms to determine the best placement locations and find an available game server there, then prompts the game server process to start a new game session.

A game session queue is configured with a set of destinations (Amazon GameLift fleets or aliases), which determine the locations where the queue can place new game sessions. These destinations can span multiple fleet types (Spot and On-Demand), instance types, and Amazon Web Services Regions. If the queue includes multi-location fleets, the queue is able to place game sessions in all of a fleet's remote locations. You can opt to filter out individual locations if needed.

The queue configuration also determines how FleetIQ selects the best available placement for a new game session. Before searching for an available game server, FleetIQ first prioritizes the queue's destinations and locations, with the best placement locations on top. You can set up the queue to use the FleetIQ default prioritization or provide an alternate set of priorities.

To create a new queue, provide a name, timeout value, and a list of destinations. Optionally, specify a sort configuration and/or a filter, and define a set of latency cap policies. You can also include the ARN for an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic to receive notifications of game session placement activity. Notifications using SNS or CloudWatch events is the preferred way to track placement activity.

If successful, a new GameSessionQueue object is returned with an assigned queue ARN. New game session requests, which are submitted to queue with StartGameSessionPlacementor StartMatchmaking, reference a queue's name or ARN.

func (*Client) CreateMatchmakingConfiguration ¶

func (c *Client) CreateMatchmakingConfiguration(ctx context.Context, params *CreateMatchmakingConfigurationInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateMatchmakingConfigurationOutput, error)

Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. Whether your are using FlexMatch with Amazon 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 Amazon 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 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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 topic to receive matchmaking notifications. Provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration.

func (*Client) CreateScript ¶

func (c *Client) CreateScript(ctx context.Context, params *CreateScriptInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateScriptOutput, error)

Creates a script resource for your Realtime Servers script. Realtime scripts are JavaScript files that provide configuration settings and optional custom game logic for your game. Script logic is executed during an active game session. To deploy Realtime Servers for hosting, create an Amazon GameLift managed fleet with the script.

To create a script resource, specify a script name and provide the script file(s). The script files and all dependencies must be combined into a single .zip file. You can upload 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 Amazon Web Services 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.

func (*Client) CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization ¶

func (c *Client) CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization(ctx context.Context, params *CreateVpcPeeringAuthorizationInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*CreateVpcPeeringAuthorizationOutput, error)

Requests authorization to create or delete a peer connection between the VPC for your Amazon GameLift fleet and a virtual private cloud (VPC) in your Amazon Web Services account. VPC peering enables the game servers on your fleet to communicate directly with other Amazon Web Services resources. After you've received authorization, use CreateVpcPeeringConnectionto establish the peering connection. For more information, see VPC Peering with Amazon GameLift Fleets.

You can peer with VPCs that are owned by any Amazon Web Services account you have access to, including the account that you use to manage your Amazon GameLift fleets. You cannot peer with VPCs that are in different Regions.

To request authorization to create a connection, call this operation from the Amazon Web Services account with the VPC that you want to peer to your Amazon GameLift fleet. For example, to enable your game servers to retrieve data from a DynamoDB table, use the account that manages that DynamoDB resource. Identify the following values: (1) The ID of the VPC that you want to peer with, and (2) the ID of the Amazon Web Services account that you use to manage Amazon GameLift. If successful, VPC peering is authorized for the specified VPC.

To request authorization to delete a connection, call this operation from the Amazon Web Services account with the VPC that is peered with your Amazon GameLift fleet. Identify the following values: (1) VPC ID that you want to delete the peering connection for, and (2) ID of the Amazon Web Services account that you use to manage Amazon GameLift.

The authorization remains valid for 24 hours unless it is canceled. You must create or delete the peering connection while the authorization is valid.

Establishes a VPC peering connection between a virtual private cloud (VPC) in an Amazon Web Services account with the VPC for your Amazon GameLift fleet. VPC peering enables the game servers on your fleet to communicate directly with other Amazon Web Services resources. You can peer with VPCs in any Amazon Web Services account that you have access to, including the account that you use to manage your Amazon GameLift fleets. You cannot peer with VPCs that are in different Regions. For more information, see VPC Peering with Amazon GameLift Fleets.

Before calling this operation to establish the peering connection, you first need to use CreateVpcPeeringAuthorizationand identify the VPC you want to peer with. Once the authorization for the specified VPC is issued, you have 24 hours to establish the connection. These two operations handle all tasks necessary to peer the two VPCs, including acceptance, updating routing tables, etc.

To establish the connection, call this operation from the Amazon Web Services account that is used to manage the Amazon GameLift fleets. Identify the following values: (1) The ID of the fleet you want to be enable a VPC peering connection for; (2) The Amazon Web Services account with the VPC that you want to peer with; and (3) The ID of the VPC you want to peer with. This operation is asynchronous. If successful, a connection request is created.

func (*Client) DeleteGameServerGroup ¶

func (c *Client) DeleteGameServerGroup(ctx context.Context, params *DeleteGameServerGroupInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*DeleteGameServerGroupOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Terminates a game server group and permanently deletes the game server group record. You have several options for how these resources are impacted when deleting the game server group. Depending on the type of delete operation selected, this operation might affect these resources:

The game server group
The corresponding Auto Scaling group
All game servers that are currently running in the group

To delete a game server group, identify the game server group to delete and specify the type of delete operation to initiate. Game server groups can only be deleted if they are in ACTIVE or ERROR status.

If the delete request is successful, a series of operations are kicked off. The game server group status is changed to DELETE_SCHEDULED , which prevents new game servers from being registered and stops automatic scaling activity. Once all game servers in the game server group are deregistered, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ can begin deleting resources. If any of the delete operations fail, the game server group is placed in ERROR status.

Amazon GameLift FleetIQ emits delete events to Amazon CloudWatch.

func (*Client) PutScalingPolicy ¶

func (c *Client) PutScalingPolicy(ctx context.Context, params *PutScalingPolicyInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*PutScalingPolicyOutput, error)

Creates or updates a scaling policy for a fleet. Scaling policies are used to automatically scale a fleet's hosting capacity to meet player demand. An active scaling policy instructs Amazon GameLift to track a fleet metric and automatically change the fleet's capacity when a certain threshold is reached. There are two types of scaling policies: target-based and rule-based. Use a target-based policy to quickly and efficiently manage fleet scaling; this option is the most commonly used. Use rule-based policies when you need to exert fine-grained control over auto-scaling.

Fleets can have multiple scaling policies of each type in force at the same time; you can have one target-based policy, one or multiple rule-based scaling policies, or both. We recommend caution, however, because multiple auto-scaling policies can have unintended consequences.

Learn more about how to work with auto-scaling in Set Up Fleet Automatic Scaling.

Target-based policy ¶

A target-based policy tracks a single metric: PercentAvailableGameSessions. This metric tells us how much of a fleet's hosting capacity is ready to host game sessions but is not currently in use. This is the fleet's buffer; it measures the additional player demand that the fleet could handle at current capacity. With a target-based policy, you set your ideal buffer size and leave it to Amazon GameLift to take whatever action is needed to maintain that target.

For example, you might choose to maintain a 10% buffer for a fleet that has the capacity to host 100 simultaneous game sessions. This policy tells Amazon GameLift to take action whenever the fleet's available capacity falls below or rises above 10 game sessions. Amazon GameLift will start new instances or stop unused instances in order to return to the 10% buffer.

To create or update a target-based policy, specify a fleet ID and name, and set the policy type to "TargetBased". Specify the metric to track (PercentAvailableGameSessions) and reference a TargetConfiguration object with your desired buffer value. Exclude all other parameters. On a successful request, the policy name is returned. The scaling policy is automatically in force as soon as it's successfully created. If the fleet's auto-scaling actions are temporarily suspended, the new policy will be in force once the fleet actions are restarted.

Rule-based policy ¶

A rule-based policy tracks specified fleet metric, sets a threshold value, and specifies the type of action to initiate when triggered. With a rule-based policy, you can select from several available fleet metrics. Each policy specifies whether to scale up or scale down (and by how much), so you need one policy for each type of action.

For example, a policy may make the following statement: "If the percentage of idle instances is greater than 20% for more than 15 minutes, then reduce the fleet capacity by 10%."

A policy's rule statement has the following structure:

If [MetricName] is [ComparisonOperator] [Threshold] for [EvaluationPeriods] minutes, then [ScalingAdjustmentType] to/by [ScalingAdjustment] .

To implement the example, the rule statement would look like this:

If [PercentIdleInstances] is [GreaterThanThreshold] [20] for [15] minutes, then [PercentChangeInCapacity] to/by [10] .

To create or update a scaling policy, specify a unique combination of name and fleet ID, and set the policy type to "RuleBased". Specify the parameter values for a policy rule statement. On a successful request, the policy name is returned. Scaling policies are automatically in force as soon as they're successfully created. If the fleet's auto-scaling actions are temporarily suspended, the new policy will be in force once the fleet actions are restarted.

func (*Client) RegisterCompute ¶ added in v1.16.0

func (c *Client) RegisterCompute(ctx context.Context, params *RegisterComputeInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*RegisterComputeOutput, error)

Registers a compute resource in an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet.

For an Anywhere fleet that's running the Amazon GameLift Agent, the Agent handles all compute registry tasks for you. For an Anywhere fleet that doesn't use the Agent, call this operation to register fleet computes.

To register a compute, give the compute a name (must be unique within the fleet) and specify the compute resource's DNS name or IP address. Provide a 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 compute details, including an Amazon GameLift SDK endpoint or Agent endpoint. Game server processes running on the compute can 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() .

To view compute details, call DescribeCompute with the compute name.

func (*Client) RegisterGameServer ¶

func (c *Client) RegisterGameServer(ctx context.Context, params *RegisterGameServerInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*RegisterGameServerOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Creates a new game server resource and notifies Amazon GameLift FleetIQ that the game server is ready to host gameplay and players. This operation is called by a game server process that is running on an instance in a game server group. Registering game servers enables Amazon GameLift FleetIQ to track available game servers and enables game clients and services to claim a game server for a new game session.

To register a game server, identify the game server group and instance where the game server is running, and provide a unique identifier for the game server. You can also include connection and game server data.

Once a game server is successfully registered, it is put in status AVAILABLE . A request to register a game server may fail if the instance it is running on is in the process of shutting down as part of instance balancing or scale-down activity.

func (*Client) SearchGameSessions ¶

func (c *Client) SearchGameSessions(ctx context.Context, params *SearchGameSessionsInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*SearchGameSessionsOutput, error)

Retrieves all active game sessions that match a set of search criteria and sorts them into a specified order.

This operation is not designed to continually track game session status because that practice can cause you to exceed your API limit and generate errors. Instead, configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to receive notifications from a matchmaker or a game session placement queue.

When searching for game sessions, you specify exactly where you want to search and provide a search filter expression, a sort expression, or both. A search request can search only one fleet, but it can search all of a fleet's locations.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To search all game sessions that are currently running on all locations in a fleet, provide a fleet or alias ID. This approach returns game sessions in the fleet's home Region and all remote locations that fit the search criteria.
To search all game sessions that are currently running on a specific fleet location, provide a fleet or alias ID and a location name. For location, you can specify a fleet's home Region or any remote location.

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

If successful, a GameSession object is returned for each game session that matches the request. Search finds game sessions that are in ACTIVE status only. To retrieve information on game sessions in other statuses, use DescribeGameSessions.

To set search and sort criteria, create a filter expression using the following game session attributes. For game session search examples, see the Examples section of this topic.

gameSessionId -- A unique identifier for the game session. You can use either a GameSessionId or GameSessionArn value.
gameSessionName -- Name assigned to a game session. Game session names do not need to be unique to a game session.
gameSessionProperties -- A set of key-value pairs that can store custom data in a game session. For example: {"Key": "difficulty", "Value": "novice"} . The filter expression must specify the GameProperty-- a Key and a string Value to search for the game sessions.

For example, to search for the above key-value pair, specify the following

search filter: gameSessionProperties.difficulty = "novice" . All game property
values are searched as strings.

For examples of searching game sessions, see the ones below, and also see Search game sessions by game property.

maximumSessions -- Maximum number of player sessions allowed for a game session.
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.

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.

func (*Client) StartFleetActions ¶

func (c *Client) StartFleetActions(ctx context.Context, params *StartFleetActionsInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StartFleetActionsOutput, error)

Resumes certain types of activity on fleet instances that were suspended with StopFleetActions. For multi-location fleets, fleet actions are managed separately for each location. Currently, this operation is used to restart a fleet's auto-scaling activity.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To restart actions on instances in the fleet's home Region, provide a fleet ID and the type of actions to resume.
To restart actions on instances in one of the fleet's remote locations, provide a fleet ID, a location name, and the type of actions to resume.

If successful, Amazon GameLift once again initiates scaling events as triggered by the fleet's scaling policies. If actions on the fleet location were never stopped, this operation will have no effect.

func (*Client) StartGameSessionPlacement ¶

func (c *Client) StartGameSessionPlacement(ctx context.Context, params *StartGameSessionPlacementInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StartGameSessionPlacementOutput, error)

Places a request for a new game session in a queue. When processing a placement request, Amazon GameLift searches for available resources on the queue's destinations, scanning each until it finds resources or the placement request times out.

A game session placement request can also request player sessions. When a new game session is successfully created, Amazon GameLift creates a player session for each player included in the request.

When placing a game session, by default Amazon GameLift tries each fleet in the order they are listed in the queue configuration. Ideally, a queue's destinations are listed in preference order.

Alternatively, when requesting a game session with players, you can also provide latency data for each player in relevant Regions. Latency data indicates the performance lag a player experiences when connected to a fleet in the Region. Amazon GameLift uses latency data to reorder the list of destinations to place the game session in a Region with minimal lag. If latency data is provided for multiple players, Amazon GameLift calculates each Region's average lag for all players and reorders to get the best game play across all players.

To place a new game session request, specify the following:

The queue name and a set of game session properties and settings
A unique ID (such as a UUID) for the placement. You use this ID to track the status of the placement request
(Optional) A set of player data and a unique player ID for each player that you are joining to the new game session (player data is optional, but if you include it, you must also provide a unique ID for each player)
Latency data for all players (if you want to optimize game play for the players)

If successful, a new game session placement is created.

To track the status of a placement request, call DescribeGameSessionPlacement and check the request's status. If the status is FULFILLED , a new game session has been created and a game session ARN and Region are referenced. If the placement request times out, submit a new request to the same queue or a different queue.

func (*Client) StartMatchBackfill ¶

func (c *Client) StartMatchBackfill(ctx context.Context, params *StartMatchBackfillInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StartMatchBackfillOutput, error)

Finds new players to fill open slots in currently running game sessions. The backfill match process is essentially identical to the process of forming new matches. Backfill requests use the same matchmaker that was used to make the original match, and they provide matchmaking data for all players currently in the game session. FlexMatch uses this information to select new players so that backfilled match continues to meet the original match requirements.

When using FlexMatch with Amazon GameLift managed hosting, you can request a backfill match from a client service by calling this operation with a GameSessions ID. You also have the option of making backfill requests directly from your game server. In response to a request, FlexMatch creates player sessions for the new players, updates the GameSession resource, and sends updated matchmaking data to the game server. You can request a backfill match at any point after a game session is started. Each game session can have only one active backfill request at a time; a subsequent request automatically replaces the earlier request.

When using FlexMatch as a standalone component, request a backfill match by calling this operation without a game session identifier. As with newly formed matches, matchmaking results are returned in a matchmaking event so that your game can update the game session that is being backfilled.

To request a backfill match, specify a unique ticket ID, the original matchmaking configuration, and matchmaking data for all current players in the game session being backfilled. Optionally, specify the GameSession ARN. If successful, a match backfill ticket is created and returned with status set to QUEUED. Track the status of backfill tickets using the same method for tracking tickets for new matches.

Only game sessions created by FlexMatch are supported for match backfill.

How Amazon GameLift FlexMatch works

func (*Client) StartMatchmaking ¶

func (c *Client) StartMatchmaking(ctx context.Context, params *StartMatchmakingInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StartMatchmakingOutput, error)

Uses FlexMatch to create a game match for a group of players based on custom matchmaking rules. With games that use Amazon GameLift managed hosting, this operation also triggers Amazon GameLift to find hosting resources and start a new game session for the new match. Each matchmaking request includes information on one or more players and specifies the FlexMatch matchmaker to use. When a request is for multiple players, FlexMatch attempts to build a match that includes all players in the request, placing them in the same team and finding additional players as needed to fill the match.

To start matchmaking, provide a unique ticket ID, specify a matchmaking configuration, and include the players to be matched. You must also include any player attributes that are required by the matchmaking configuration's rule set. If successful, a matchmaking ticket is returned with status set to QUEUED .

Track matchmaking events to respond as needed and acquire game session connection information for successfully completed matches. Ticket status updates are tracked using event notification through Amazon Simple Notification Service, which is defined in the matchmaking configuration.

func (*Client) StopFleetActions ¶

func (c *Client) StopFleetActions(ctx context.Context, params *StopFleetActionsInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StopFleetActionsOutput, error)

Suspends certain types of activity in a fleet location. Currently, this operation is used to stop auto-scaling activity. For multi-location fleets, fleet actions are managed separately for each location.

Stopping fleet actions has several potential purposes. It allows you to temporarily stop auto-scaling activity but retain your scaling policies for use in the future. For multi-location fleets, you can set up fleet-wide auto-scaling, and then opt out of it for certain locations.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To stop actions on instances in the fleet's home Region, provide a fleet ID and the type of actions to suspend.
To stop actions on instances in one of the fleet's remote locations, provide a fleet ID, a location name, and the type of actions to suspend.

If successful, Amazon GameLift no longer initiates scaling events except in response to manual changes using UpdateFleetCapacity. To restart fleet actions again, call StartFleetActions.

func (*Client) StopGameSessionPlacement ¶

func (c *Client) StopGameSessionPlacement(ctx context.Context, params *StopGameSessionPlacementInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StopGameSessionPlacementOutput, error)

Cancels a game session placement that is in PENDING status. To stop a placement, provide the placement ID values. If successful, the placement is moved to CANCELLED status.

func (*Client) StopMatchmaking ¶

func (c *Client) StopMatchmaking(ctx context.Context, params *StopMatchmakingInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*StopMatchmakingOutput, error)

Cancels a matchmaking ticket or match backfill ticket that is currently being processed. To stop the matchmaking operation, specify the ticket ID. If successful, work on the ticket is stopped, and the ticket status is changed to CANCELLED .

This call is also used to turn off automatic backfill for an individual game session. This is for game sessions that are created with a matchmaking configuration that has automatic backfill enabled. The ticket ID is included in the MatchmakerData of an updated game session object, which is provided to the game server.

If the operation is successful, the service sends back an empty JSON struct with the HTTP 200 response (not an empty HTTP body).

func (*Client) SuspendGameServerGroup ¶

func (c *Client) SuspendGameServerGroup(ctx context.Context, params *SuspendGameServerGroupInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*SuspendGameServerGroupOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Temporarily stops activity on a game server group without terminating instances or the game server group. You can restart activity by calling ResumeGameServerGroup. You can suspend the following activity:

Instance type replacement - This activity evaluates the current game hosting viability of all Spot instance types that are defined for the game server group. It updates the Auto Scaling group to remove nonviable Spot Instance types, which have a higher chance of game server interruptions. It then balances capacity across the remaining viable Spot Instance types. When this activity is suspended, the Auto Scaling group continues with its current balance, regardless of viability. Instance protection, utilization metrics, and capacity scaling activities continue to be active.

To suspend activity, specify a game server group ARN and the type of activity to be suspended. If successful, a GameServerGroup object is returned showing that the activity is listed in SuspendedActions .

Updates properties in an existing container group definition. This operation doesn't replace the definition. Instead, it creates a new version of the definition and saves it separately. You can access all versions that you choose to retain.

The only property you can't update is the container group type.

Request options:

Update based on the latest version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name only, or use an ARN value without a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the latest version.
Update based on a specific version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name and a source version number, or use an ARN value with a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the source version.
Change a game server container definition. Provide the updated container definition.
Add or change a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, including the updated definition.
Remove a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, excluding the definition to remove. If the container group has only one support container definition, provide an empty set.

Results:

If successful, this operation returns the complete properties of the new container group definition version.

If the container group definition version is used in an active fleets, the update automatically initiates a new fleet deployment of the new version. You can track a fleet's deployments using ListFleetDeployments.

func (*Client) UpdateFleetAttributes ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateFleetAttributes(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateFleetAttributesInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateFleetAttributesOutput, error)

Updates a fleet's mutable attributes, such as game session protection and resource creation limits.

To update fleet attributes, specify the fleet ID and the property values that you want to change. If successful, Amazon GameLift returns the identifiers for the updated fleet.

func (*Client) UpdateFleetCapacity ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateFleetCapacity(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateFleetCapacityInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateFleetCapacityOutput, error)

Updates capacity settings for a managed EC2 fleet or managed container fleet. For these fleets, you adjust capacity by changing the number of instances in the fleet. Fleet capacity determines the number of game sessions and players that the fleet can host based on its configuration. For fleets with multiple locations, use this operation to manage capacity settings in each location individually.

Use this operation to set these fleet capacity properties:

Minimum/maximum size: Set hard limits on the number of Amazon EC2 instances allowed. If Amazon GameLift receives a request--either through manual update or automatic scaling--it won't change the capacity to a value outside of this range.
Desired capacity: As an alternative to automatic scaling, manually set the number of Amazon EC2 instances to be maintained. Before changing a fleet's desired capacity, check the maximum capacity of the fleet's Amazon EC2 instance type by calling DescribeEC2InstanceLimits.

To update capacity for a fleet's home Region, or if the fleet has no remote locations, omit the Location parameter. The fleet must be in ACTIVE status.

To update capacity for a fleet's remote location, set the Location parameter to the location to update. The location must be in ACTIVE status.

If successful, Amazon GameLift updates the capacity settings and returns the identifiers for the updated fleet and/or location. If a requested change to desired capacity exceeds the instance type's limit, the LimitExceeded exception occurs.

Updates often prompt an immediate change in fleet capacity, such as when current capacity is different than the new desired capacity or outside the new limits. In this scenario, Amazon GameLift automatically initiates steps to add or remove instances in the fleet location. You can track a fleet's current capacity by calling DescribeFleetCapacityor DescribeFleetLocationCapacity.

func (*Client) UpdateFleetPortSettings ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateFleetPortSettings(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateFleetPortSettingsInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateFleetPortSettingsOutput, error)

Updates permissions that allow inbound traffic to connect to game sessions in the fleet.

To update settings, specify the fleet ID to be updated and specify the changes to be made. List the permissions you want to add in InboundPermissionAuthorizations , and permissions you want to remove in InboundPermissionRevocations . Permissions to be removed must match existing fleet permissions.

For a container fleet, inbound permissions must specify port numbers that are defined in the fleet's connection port settings.

If successful, the fleet ID for the updated fleet is returned. For fleets with remote locations, port setting updates can take time to propagate across all locations. You can check the status of updates in each location by calling DescribeFleetPortSettings with a location name.

func (*Client) UpdateGameServer ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateGameServer(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateGameServerInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateGameServerOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Updates information about a registered game server to help Amazon GameLift FleetIQ track game server availability. This operation is called by a game server process that is running on an instance in a game server group.

Use this operation to update the following types of game server information. You can make all three types of updates in the same request:

To update the game server's utilization status from AVAILABLE (when the game server is available to be claimed) to UTILIZED (when the game server is currently hosting games). Identify the game server and game server group and specify the new utilization status. You can't change the status from to UTILIZED to AVAILABLE .
To report health status, identify the game server and game server group and set health check to HEALTHY . If a game server does not report health status for a certain length of time, the game server is no longer considered healthy. As a result, it will be eventually deregistered from the game server group to avoid affecting utilization metrics. The best practice is to report health every 60 seconds.
To change game server metadata, provide updated game server data.

Once a game server is successfully updated, the relevant statuses and timestamps are updated.

func (*Client) UpdateGameServerGroup ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateGameServerGroup(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateGameServerGroupInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateGameServerGroupOutput, error)

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game

server groups.

Updates Amazon GameLift FleetIQ-specific properties for a game server group. Many Auto Scaling group properties are updated on the Auto Scaling group directly, including the launch template, Auto Scaling policies, and maximum/minimum/desired instance counts.

To update the game server group, specify the game server group ID and provide the updated values. Before applying the updates, the new values are validated to ensure that Amazon GameLift FleetIQ can continue to perform instance balancing activity. If successful, a GameServerGroup object is returned.

func (*Client) UpdateGameSession ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateGameSession(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateGameSessionInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateGameSessionOutput, error)

Updates the mutable properties of a game session.

To update a game session, specify the game session ID and the values you want to change.

If successful, the updated GameSession object is returned.

func (*Client) UpdateRuntimeConfiguration ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateRuntimeConfiguration(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateRuntimeConfigurationInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateRuntimeConfigurationOutput, error)

Updates the runtime configuration for the specified fleet. The runtime configuration tells Amazon GameLift how to launch server processes on computes in managed EC2 and Anywhere fleets. You can update a fleet's runtime configuration at any time after the fleet is created; it does not need to be in ACTIVE status.

To update runtime configuration, specify the fleet ID and provide a RuntimeConfiguration with an updated set of server process configurations.

If successful, the fleet's runtime configuration settings are updated. Fleet computes that run game server processes regularly check for and receive updated runtime configurations. The computes immediately take action to comply with the new configuration by launching new server processes or by not replacing existing processes when they shut down. Updating a fleet's runtime configuration never affects existing server processes.

func (*Client) UpdateScript ¶

func (c *Client) UpdateScript(ctx context.Context, params *UpdateScriptInput, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*UpdateScriptOutput, error)

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.
