Main.Gamelift.accept_matchMethod
accept_match(acceptance_type, player_ids, ticket_id)
accept_match(acceptance_type, player_ids, ticket_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Registers a player's acceptance or rejection of a proposed FlexMatch match. A matchmaking configuration may require player acceptance; if so, then matches built with that configuration cannot be completed unless all players accept the proposed match within a specified time limit. When FlexMatch builds a match, all the matchmaking tickets involved in the proposed match are placed into status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE. This is a trigger for your game to get acceptance from all players in each ticket. Calls to this action are only valid for tickets that are in this status; calls for tickets not in this status result in an error. To register acceptance, specify the ticket ID, one or more players, and an acceptance response. When all players have accepted, Amazon GameLift advances the matchmaking tickets to status PLACING, and attempts to create a new game session for the match. If any player rejects the match, or if acceptances are not received before a specified timeout, the proposed match is dropped. Each matchmaking ticket in the failed match is handled as follows: If the ticket has one or more players who rejected the match or failed to respond, the ticket status is set CANCELLED and processing is terminated. If all players in the ticket accepted the match, the ticket status is returned to SEARCHING to find a new match. Learn more Add FlexMatch to a game client FlexMatch events (reference)

Arguments

  • acceptance_type: Player response to the proposed match.
  • player_ids: A unique identifier for a player delivering the response. This parameter can include one or multiple player IDs.
  • ticket_id: A unique identifier for a matchmaking ticket. The ticket must be in status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE; otherwise this request will fail.

Main.Gamelift.claim_game_serverMethod
claim_game_server(game_server_group_name)
claim_game_server(game_server_group_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: A unique identifier for the game server group where the game server is running. If you are not specifying a game server to claim, this value identifies where you want Amazon GameLift FleetIQ to look for an available game server to claim.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "FilterOption": Object that restricts how a claimed game server is chosen.
  • "GameServerData": A set of custom game server properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game client or service when it requests information on game servers.
  • "GameServerId": A custom string that uniquely identifies the game server to claim. If this parameter is left empty, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ searches for an available game server in the specified game server group.

Main.Gamelift.create_aliasMethod
create_alias(name, routing_strategy)
create_alias(name, routing_strategy, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Related actions All APIs by task

Arguments

  • name: A descriptive label that is associated with an alias. Alias names do not need to be unique.
  • routing_strategy: The routing configuration, including routing type and fleet target, for the alias.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Description": A human-readable description of the alias.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the new alias resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Main.Gamelift.create_buildMethod
create_build()
create_build(params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates a new Amazon GameLift build resource for your game server binary files. Combine game server binaries into a zip file for use with Amazon GameLift. When setting up a new game build for Amazon GameLift, we recommend using the CLI command upload-build . This helper command combines two tasks: (1) it uploads your build files from a file directory to an Amazon GameLift Amazon S3 location, and (2) it creates a new build resource. You can use the CreateBuild operation in the following scenarios: Create a new game build with build files that are in an Amazon S3 location under an Amazon Web Services account that you control. To use this option, you give Amazon GameLift access to the Amazon S3 bucket. With permissions in place, specify a build name, operating system, and the Amazon S3 storage location of your game build. Upload your build files to a Amazon GameLift Amazon S3 location. To use this option, specify a build name and operating system. This operation creates a new build resource and also returns an Amazon S3 location with temporary access credentials. Use the credentials to manually upload your build files to the specified Amazon S3 location. For more information, see Uploading Objects in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide. After you upload build files to the Amazon GameLift Amazon S3 location, you can't update them. If successful, this operation creates a new build resource with a unique build ID and places it in INITIALIZED status. A build must be in READY status before you can create fleets with it. Learn more Uploading Your Game Create a Build with Files in Amazon S3 All APIs by task

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Name": A descriptive label associated with a build. Build names don't need to be unique. You can change this value later.
  • "OperatingSystem": The operating system that your game server binaries run on. This value determines the type of fleet resources that you use for this build. If your game build contains multiple executables, they all must run on the same operating system. You must specify a valid operating system in this request. There is no default value. You can't change a build's operating system later. If you have active fleets using the Windows Server 2012 operating system, you can continue to create new builds using this OS until October 10, 2023, when Microsoft ends its support. All others must use Windows Server 2016 when creating new Windows-based builds.
  • "ServerSdkVersion": A server SDK version you used when integrating your game server build with Amazon GameLift. For more information see Integrate games with custom game servers. By default Amazon GameLift sets this value to 4.0.2.
  • "StorageLocation": Information indicating where your game build files are stored. Use this parameter only when creating a build with files stored in an Amazon S3 bucket that you own. The storage location must specify an Amazon S3 bucket name and key. The location must also specify a role ARN that you set up to allow Amazon GameLift to access your Amazon S3 bucket. The S3 bucket and your new build must be in the same Region. If a StorageLocation is specified, the size of your file can be found in your Amazon S3 bucket. Amazon GameLift will report a SizeOnDisk of 0.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the new build resource. Tags are developer defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services General Reference for actual tagging limits.
  • "Version": Version information associated with a build or script. Version strings don't need to be unique. You can change this value later.

Main.Gamelift.create_container_group_definitionMethod
create_container_group_definition(container_definitions, name, operating_system, total_cpu_limit, total_memory_limit)
create_container_group_definition(container_definitions, name, operating_system, total_cpu_limit, total_memory_limit, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Creates a ContainerGroupDefinition resource that describes a set of containers for hosting your game server with Amazon GameLift managed EC2 hosting. An Amazon GameLift container group is similar to a container "task" and "pod". Each container group can have one or more containers. Use container group definitions when you create a container fleet. Container group definitions determine how Amazon GameLift deploys your containers to each instance in a container fleet. You can create two types of container groups, based on scheduling strategy: A replica container group manages the containers that run your game server application and supporting software. Replica container groups might be replicated multiple times on each fleet instance, depending on instance resources. A daemon container group manages containers that run other software, such as background services, logging, or test processes. You might use a daemon container group for processes that need to run only once per fleet instance, or processes that need to persist independently of the replica container group. To create a container group definition, specify a group name, a list of container definitions, and maximum total CPU and memory requirements for the container group. Specify an operating system and scheduling strategy or use the default values. When using the Amazon Web Services CLI tool, you can pass in your container definitions as a JSON file. This operation requires Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to access container images in Amazon ECR repositories. See IAM permissions for Amazon GameLift for help setting the appropriate permissions. If successful, this operation creates a new ContainerGroupDefinition resource with an ARN value assigned. You can't change the properties of a container group definition. Instead, create a new one. Learn more Create a container group definition Container fleet design guide Create a container definition as a JSON file

Arguments

  • container_definitions: Definitions for all containers in this group. Each container definition identifies the container image and specifies configuration settings for the container. See the Container fleet design guide for container guidelines.
  • name: A descriptive identifier for the container group definition. The name value must be unique in an Amazon Web Services Region.
  • operating_system: The platform that is used by containers in the container group definition. All containers in a group must run on the same operating system.
  • total_cpu_limit: The maximum amount of CPU units to allocate to the container group. Set this parameter to an integer value in CPU units (1 vCPU is equal to 1024 CPU units). All containers in the group share this memory. If you specify CPU limits for individual containers, set this parameter based on the following guidelines. The value must be equal to or greater than the sum of the CPU limits for all containers in the group.
  • total_memory_limit: The maximum amount of memory (in MiB) to allocate to the container group. All containers in the group share this memory. If you specify memory limits for individual containers, set this parameter based on the following guidelines. The value must be (1) greater than the sum of the soft memory limits for all containers in the group, and (2) greater than any individual container's hard memory limit.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "SchedulingStrategy": The method for deploying the container group across fleet instances. A replica container group might have multiple copies on each fleet instance. A daemon container group has one copy per fleet instance. Default value is REPLICA.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the container group definition resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Main.Gamelift.create_fleetMethod
create_fleet(name)
create_fleet(name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. 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. Managed container fleet A container fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Your container architecture is deployed to each fleet instance based on the fleet configuration. Amazon GameLift manages the containers on each fleet instance and controls the lifecycle of game server processes, which host game sessions for players. Container fleets can have instances in multiple locations. Each container on an instance that runs game server processes is registered as a Compute. To create a container fleet, provide these required parameters: ComputeType set to CONTAINER ContainerGroupsConfiguration EC2InboundPermissions EC2InstanceType FleetType set to ON_DEMAND 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. 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. Learn more Setting up fleets Setting up a container fleet Debug fleet creation issues Multi-location fleets

Arguments

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

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AnywhereConfiguration": Amazon GameLift Anywhere configuration options.
  • "BuildId": The unique identifier for a custom game server build to be deployed to a fleet with compute type EC2. You can use either the build ID or ARN. The build must be uploaded to Amazon GameLift and in READY status. This fleet property can't be changed after the fleet is created.
  • "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. 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.
  • "ComputeType": The type of compute resource used to host your game servers. EC2 – The game server build is deployed to Amazon EC2 instances for cloud hosting. This is the default setting. CONTAINER – Container images with your game server build and supporting software are deployed to Amazon EC2 instances for cloud hosting. With this compute type, you must specify the ContainerGroupsConfiguration parameter. ANYWHERE – Game servers or container images with your game server and supporting software are deployed to compute resources that are provided and managed by you. With this compute type, you can also set the AnywhereConfiguration parameter.
  • "ContainerGroupsConfiguration": The container groups to deploy to instances in the container fleet and other fleet-level configuration settings. Use the CreateContainerGroupDefinition action to create container groups. A container fleet must have exactly one replica container group, and can optionally have one daemon container group. You can't change this property after you create the fleet.
  • "Description": A description for the fleet.
  • "EC2InboundPermissions": The IP address ranges and port settings that allow inbound traffic to access game server processes and other processes on this fleet. Set this parameter for EC2 and container fleets. You can leave this parameter empty when creating the fleet, but you must call UpdateFleetPortSettings to set it before players can connect to game sessions. As a best practice, we recommend opening ports for remote access only when you need them and closing them when you're finished. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically sets TCP and UDP ranges. To manage inbound access for a container fleet, set this parameter to the same port numbers that you set for the fleet's connection port range. During the life of the fleet, update this parameter to control which connection ports are open to inbound traffic.
  • "EC2InstanceType": The Amazon GameLift-supported Amazon EC2 instance type to use with EC2 and container fleets. 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.
  • "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 fleet property can't be changed after the fleet is created.
  • "InstanceRoleArn": A unique identifier for an IAM role with access permissions to other Amazon Web Services services. Any application that runs on an instance in the fleet–including install scripts, server processes, and other processes–can use these permissions to interact with Amazon Web Services resources that you own or have access to. For more information about using the role with your game server builds, see Communicate with other Amazon Web Services resources from your fleets. This fleet property can't be changed after the fleet is created.
  • "InstanceRoleCredentialsProvider": Prompts Amazon GameLift to generate a shared credentials file for the IAM role that's defined in InstanceRoleArn. The shared credentials file is stored on each fleet instance and refreshed as needed. Use shared credentials for applications that are deployed along with the game server executable, if the game server is integrated with server SDK version 5.x. For more information about using shared credentials, see Communicate with other Amazon Web Services resources from your fleets.
  • "Locations": A set of remote locations to deploy additional instances to and manage as part of the fleet. This parameter can only be used when creating fleets in Amazon Web Services Regions that support multiple locations. You can add any Amazon GameLift-supported Amazon Web Services Region as a remote location, in the form of an Amazon Web Services Region code, such as us-west-2 or Local Zone code. To create a fleet with instances in the home Region only, don't set this parameter. When using this parameter, Amazon GameLift requires you to include your home location in the request.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "RuntimeConfiguration": Instructions for how to launch and run server processes on the fleet. Set runtime configuration for EC2 fleets and container fleets. For an Anywhere fleets, set this parameter only if the fleet is running the Amazon GameLift Agent. The runtime configuration defines one or more server process configurations. Each server process identifies a game executable or Realtime script file and the number of processes to run concurrently. This parameter replaces the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters, which are still supported for backward compatibility.
  • "ScriptId": The unique identifier for a Realtime configuration script to be deployed to a fleet with compute type EC2. You can use either the script ID or ARN. Scripts must be uploaded to Amazon GameLift prior to creating the fleet. This fleet property can't be changed after the fleet is created.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the new fleet resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Main.Gamelift.create_fleet_locationsMethod
create_fleet_locations(fleet_id, locations)
create_fleet_locations(fleet_id, locations, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Adds remote locations to an EC2 or 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. Learn more Setting up fleets Multi-location fleets

Arguments

  • fleet_id: A unique identifier for the fleet to add locations to. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value.
  • locations: A list of locations to deploy additional instances to and manage as part of the fleet. You can add any Amazon GameLift-supported Amazon Web Services Region as a remote location, in the form of an Amazon Web Services Region code such as us-west-2.

Main.Gamelift.create_game_server_groupMethod
create_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, instance_definitions, launch_template, max_size, min_size, role_arn)
create_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, instance_definitions, launch_template, max_size, min_size, role_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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 Template in 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 interaction in 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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: An identifier for the new game server group. This value is used to generate unique ARN identifiers for the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group and the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ game server group. The name must be unique per Region per Amazon Web Services account.
  • instance_definitions: The Amazon EC2 instance types and sizes to use in the Auto Scaling group. The instance definitions must specify at least two different instance types that are supported by Amazon GameLift FleetIQ. For more information on instance types, see EC2 Instance Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. You can optionally specify capacity weighting for each instance type. If no weight value is specified for an instance type, it is set to the default value "1". For more information about capacity weighting, see Instance Weighting for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
  • launch_template: The Amazon EC2 launch template that contains configuration settings and game server code to be deployed to all instances in the game server group. You can specify the template using either the template name or ID. For help with creating a launch template, see Creating a Launch Template for an Auto Scaling Group in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Auto Scaling User Guide. After the Auto Scaling group is created, update this value directly in the Auto Scaling group using the Amazon Web Services console or APIs. If you specify network interfaces in your launch template, you must explicitly set the property AssociatePublicIpAddress to "true". If no network interface is specified in the launch template, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ uses your account's default VPC.
  • max_size: The maximum number of instances allowed in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. During automatic scaling events, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ and EC2 do not scale up the group above this maximum. After the Auto Scaling group is created, update this value directly in the Auto Scaling group using the Amazon Web Services console or APIs.
  • min_size: The minimum number of instances allowed in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. During automatic scaling events, Amazon GameLift FleetIQ and Amazon EC2 do not scale down the group below this minimum. In production, this value should be set to at least 1. After the Auto Scaling group is created, update this value directly in the Auto Scaling group using the Amazon Web Services console or APIs.
  • role_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access your Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AutoScalingPolicy": Configuration settings to define a scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group that is optimized for game hosting. The scaling policy uses the metric "PercentUtilizedGameServers" to maintain a buffer of idle game servers that can immediately accommodate new games and players. After the Auto Scaling group is created, update this value directly in the Auto Scaling group using the Amazon Web Services console or APIs.
  • "BalancingStrategy": Indicates how Amazon GameLift FleetIQ balances the use of Spot Instances and On-Demand Instances in the game server group. Method options include the following: SPOTONLY - Only Spot Instances are used in the game server group. If Spot Instances are unavailable or not viable for game hosting, the game server group provides no hosting capacity until Spot Instances can again be used. Until then, no new instances are started, and the existing nonviable Spot Instances are terminated (after current gameplay ends) and are not replaced. SPOTPREFERRED - (default value) Spot Instances are used whenever available in the game server group. If Spot Instances are unavailable, the game server group continues to provide hosting capacity by falling back to On-Demand Instances. Existing nonviable Spot Instances are terminated (after current gameplay ends) and are replaced with new On-Demand Instances. ONDEMANDONLY - Only On-Demand Instances are used in the game server group. No Spot Instances are used, even when available, while this balancing strategy is in force.
  • "GameServerProtectionPolicy": A flag that indicates whether instances in the game server group are protected from early termination. Unprotected instances that have active game servers running might be terminated during a scale-down event, causing players to be dropped from the game. Protected instances cannot be terminated while there are active game servers running except in the event of a forced game server group deletion (see ). An exception to this is with Spot Instances, which can be terminated by Amazon Web Services regardless of protection status. This property is set to NO_PROTECTION by default.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the new game server group resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources is useful for resource management, access management, and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
  • "VpcSubnets": A list of virtual private cloud (VPC) subnets to use with instances in the game server group. By default, all Amazon GameLift FleetIQ-supported Availability Zones are used. You can use this parameter to specify VPCs that you've set up. This property cannot be updated after the game server group is created, and the corresponding Auto Scaling group will always use the property value that is set with this request, even if the Auto Scaling group is updated directly.
source
Main.Gamelift.create_game_sessionMethod
create_game_session(maximum_player_session_count)
create_game_session(maximum_player_session_count, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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 UpdateGameSession to 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. Available in Amazon GameLift Local.

Arguments

  • maximum_player_session_count: The maximum number of players that can be connected simultaneously to the game session.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AliasId": A unique identifier for the alias associated with the fleet to create a game session in. You can use either the alias ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
  • "CreatorId": A unique identifier for a player or entity creating the game session. If you add a resource creation limit policy to a fleet, the CreateGameSession operation requires a CreatorId. Amazon GameLift limits the number of game session creation requests with the same CreatorId in a specified time period. If you your fleet doesn't have a resource creation limit policy and you provide a CreatorId in your CreateGameSession requests, Amazon GameLift limits requests to one request per CreatorId per second. To not limit CreateGameSession requests with the same CreatorId, don't provide a CreatorId in your CreateGameSession request.
  • "FleetId": A unique identifier for the fleet to create a game session in. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
  • "GameProperties": A set of key-value pairs that can store custom data in a game session. For example: {"Key": "difficulty", "Value": "novice"}. For an example, see Create a game session with custom properties.
  • "GameSessionData": A set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session).
  • "GameSessionId": This parameter is deprecated. Use IdempotencyToken instead. Custom string that uniquely identifies a request for a new game session. Maximum token length is 48 characters. If provided, this string is included in the new game session's ID.
  • "IdempotencyToken": Custom string that uniquely identifies the new game session request. This is useful for ensuring that game session requests with the same idempotency token are processed only once. Subsequent requests with the same string return the original GameSession object, with an updated status. Maximum token length is 48 characters. If provided, this string is included in the new game session's ID. A game session ARN has the following format: arn:aws:gamelift:&lt;region&gt;::gamesession/&lt;fleet ID&gt;/&lt;custom ID string or idempotency token&gt;. Idempotency tokens remain in use for 30 days after a game session has ended; game session objects are retained for this time period and then deleted.
  • "Location": A fleet's remote location to place the new game session in. If this parameter is not set, the new game session is placed in the fleet's home Region. Specify a remote location with an Amazon Web Services Region code such as us-west-2. When using an Anywhere fleet, this parameter is required and must be set to the Anywhere fleet's custom location.
  • "Name": A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.

Main.Gamelift.create_game_session_queueMethod
create_game_session_queue(name)
create_game_session_queue(name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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 StartGameSessionPlacement or StartMatchmaking, reference a queue's name or ARN.

Multiple policies are applied based on their maximum allowed latency, starting with the lowest value.
  • "PriorityConfiguration": Custom settings to use when prioritizing destinations and locations for game session placements. This configuration replaces the FleetIQ default prioritization process. Priority types that are not explicitly named will be automatically applied at the end of the prioritization process.
  • "Tags": A list of labels to assign to the new game session queue resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
  • "TimeoutInSeconds": The maximum time, in seconds, that a new game session placement request remains in the queue. When a request exceeds this time, the game session placement changes to a TIMED_OUT status. By default, this property is set to 600.

Main.Gamelift.describe_game_sessionsMethod
describe_game_sessions()
describe_game_sessions(params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Retrieves a set of one or more game sessions in a specific fleet location. You can optionally filter the results by current game session status. This operation can be used in the following ways: To retrieve all game sessions that are currently running on all locations in a fleet, provide a fleet or alias ID, with an optional status filter. This approach returns all game sessions in the fleet's home Region and all remote locations. To retrieve all game sessions that are currently running on a specific fleet location, provide a fleet or alias ID and a location name, with optional status filter. The location can be the fleet's home Region or any remote location. To retrieve a specific game session, provide the game session ID. This approach looks for the game session ID in all fleets that reside in the Amazon Web Services Region defined in the request. 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. This operation is not designed to be continually called to track game session status. This practice can cause you to exceed your API limit, which results in errors.

Main.Gamelift.put_scaling_policyMethod
put_scaling_policy(fleet_id, metric_name, name)
put_scaling_policy(fleet_id, metric_name, name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • fleet_id: A unique identifier for the fleet to apply this policy to. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value. The fleet cannot be in any of the following statuses: ERROR or DELETING.
  • metric_name: Name of the Amazon GameLift-defined metric that is used to trigger a scaling adjustment. For detailed descriptions of fleet metrics, see Monitor Amazon GameLift with Amazon CloudWatch. ActivatingGameSessions – Game sessions in the process of being created. ActiveGameSessions – Game sessions that are currently running. ActiveInstances – Fleet instances that are currently running at least one game session. AvailableGameSessions – Additional game sessions that fleet could host simultaneously, given current capacity. AvailablePlayerSessions – Empty player slots in currently active game sessions. This includes game sessions that are not currently accepting players. Reserved player slots are not included. CurrentPlayerSessions – Player slots in active game sessions that are being used by a player or are reserved for a player. IdleInstances – Active instances that are currently hosting zero game sessions. PercentAvailableGameSessions – Unused percentage of the total number of game sessions that a fleet could host simultaneously, given current capacity. Use this metric for a target-based scaling policy. PercentIdleInstances – Percentage of the total number of active instances that are hosting zero game sessions. QueueDepth – Pending game session placement requests, in any queue, where the current fleet is the top-priority destination. WaitTime – Current wait time for pending game session placement requests, in any queue, where the current fleet is the top-priority destination.
  • name: A descriptive label that is associated with a fleet's scaling policy. Policy names do not need to be unique. A fleet can have only one scaling policy with the same name.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "ComparisonOperator": Comparison operator to use when measuring the metric against the threshold value.
  • "EvaluationPeriods": Length of time (in minutes) the metric must be at or beyond the threshold before a scaling event is triggered.
  • "PolicyType": The type of scaling policy to create. For a target-based policy, set the parameter MetricName to 'PercentAvailableGameSessions' and specify a TargetConfiguration. For a rule-based policy set the following parameters: MetricName, ComparisonOperator, Threshold, EvaluationPeriods, ScalingAdjustmentType, and ScalingAdjustment.
  • "ScalingAdjustment": Amount of adjustment to make, based on the scaling adjustment type.
  • "ScalingAdjustmentType": The type of adjustment to make to a fleet's instance count: ChangeInCapacity – add (or subtract) the scaling adjustment value from the current instance count. Positive values scale up while negative values scale down. ExactCapacity – set the instance count to the scaling adjustment value. PercentChangeInCapacity – increase or reduce the current instance count by the scaling adjustment, read as a percentage. Positive values scale up while negative values scale down; for example, a value of "-10" scales the fleet down by 10%.
  • "TargetConfiguration": An object that contains settings for a target-based scaling policy.
  • "Threshold": Metric value used to trigger a scaling event.

Main.Gamelift.register_computeMethod
register_compute(compute_name, fleet_id)
register_compute(compute_name, fleet_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Registers a compute resource in an Amazon GameLift fleet. Register computes with an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet or a container fleet. For an Anywhere fleet or a container 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.

Main.Gamelift.register_game_serverMethod
register_game_server(game_server_group_name, game_server_id, instance_id)
register_game_server(game_server_group_name, game_server_id, instance_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: A unique identifier for the game server group where the game server is running.
  • game_server_id: A custom string that uniquely identifies the game server to register. Game server IDs are developer-defined and must be unique across all game server groups in your Amazon Web Services account.
  • instance_id: The unique identifier for the instance where the game server is running. This ID is available in the instance metadata. EC2 instance IDs use a 17-character format, for example: i-1234567890abcdef0.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "ConnectionInfo": Information that is needed to make inbound client connections to the game server. This might include the IP address and port, DNS name, and other information.

resume_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, resume_actions)
resume_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, resume_actions, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game server groups. Reinstates activity on a game server group after it has been suspended. A game server group might be suspended by the SuspendGameServerGroup operation, or it might be suspended involuntarily due to a configuration problem. In the second case, you can manually resume activity on the group once the configuration problem has been resolved. Refer to the game server group status and status reason for more information on why group activity is suspended. To resume activity, specify a game server group ARN and the type of activity to be resumed. If successful, a GameServerGroup object is returned showing that the resumed activity is no longer listed in SuspendedActions. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: A unique identifier for the game server group. Use either the name or ARN value.
  • resume_actions: The activity to resume for this game server group.

Main.Gamelift.search_game_sessionsMethod
search_game_sessions()
search_game_sessions(params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. All APIs by task

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AliasId": A unique identifier for the alias associated with the fleet to search for active game sessions. You can use either the alias ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
  • "FilterExpression": String containing the search criteria for the session search. If no filter expression is included, the request returns results for all game sessions in the fleet that are in ACTIVE status. A filter expression can contain one or multiple conditions. Each condition consists of the following: Operand – Name of a game session attribute. Valid values are gameSessionName, gameSessionId, gameSessionProperties, maximumSessions, creationTimeMillis, playerSessionCount, hasAvailablePlayerSessions. Comparator – Valid comparators are: =, &lt;&gt;, &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=. Value – Value to be searched for. Values may be numbers, boolean values (true/false) or strings depending on the operand. String values are case sensitive and must be enclosed in single quotes. Special characters must be escaped. Boolean and string values can only be used with the comparators = and &lt;&gt;. For example, the following filter expression searches on gameSessionName: "FilterExpression": "gameSessionName = 'Matt's Awesome Game 1'". To chain multiple conditions in a single expression, use the logical keywords AND, OR, and NOT and parentheses as needed. For example: x AND y AND NOT z, NOT (x OR y). Session search evaluates conditions from left to right using the following precedence rules: =, &lt;&gt;, &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;= Parentheses NOT AND OR For example, this filter expression retrieves game sessions hosting at least ten players that have an open player slot: "maximumSessions&gt;=10 AND hasAvailablePlayerSessions=true".
  • "FleetId": A unique identifier for the fleet to search for active game sessions. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value. Each request must reference either a fleet ID or alias ID, but not both.
  • "Limit": The maximum number of results to return. Use this parameter with NextToken to get results as a set of sequential pages. The maximum number of results returned is 20, even if this value is not set or is set higher than 20.
  • "Location": A fleet location to search for game sessions. You can specify a fleet's home Region or a remote location. Use the Amazon Web Services Region code format, such as us-west-2.
  • "NextToken": A token that indicates the start of the next sequential page of results. Use the token that is returned with a previous call to this operation. To start at the beginning of the result set, do not specify a value.
  • "SortExpression": Instructions on how to sort the search results. If no sort expression is included, the request returns results in random order. A sort expression consists of the following elements: Operand – Name of a game session attribute. Valid values are gameSessionName, gameSessionId, gameSessionProperties, maximumSessions, creationTimeMillis, playerSessionCount, hasAvailablePlayerSessions. Order – Valid sort orders are ASC (ascending) and DESC (descending). For example, this sort expression returns the oldest active sessions first: "SortExpression": "creationTimeMillis ASC". Results with a null value for the sort operand are returned at the end of the list.

Main.Gamelift.start_fleet_actionsMethod
start_fleet_actions(actions, fleet_id)
start_fleet_actions(actions, fleet_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Setting up Amazon GameLift fleets

Arguments

  • actions: List of actions to restart on the fleet.
  • fleet_id: A unique identifier for the fleet to restart actions on. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Location": The fleet location to restart fleet actions for. Specify a location in the form of an Amazon Web Services Region code, such as us-west-2.

Main.Gamelift.start_game_session_placementMethod
start_game_session_placement(game_session_queue_name, maximum_player_session_count, placement_id)
start_game_session_placement(game_session_queue_name, maximum_player_session_count, placement_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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, you can resubmit the request or retry it with a different queue.

Arguments

  • game_session_queue_name: Name of the queue to use to place the new game session. You can use either the queue name or ARN value.
  • maximum_player_session_count: The maximum number of players that can be connected simultaneously to the game session.
  • placement_id: A unique identifier to assign to the new game session placement. This value is developer-defined. The value must be unique across all Regions and cannot be reused.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "DesiredPlayerSessions": Set of information on each player to create a player session for.
  • "GameProperties": A set of key-value pairs that can store custom data in a game session. For example: {"Key": "difficulty", "Value": "novice"}.
  • "GameSessionData": 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).
  • "GameSessionName": A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.
  • "PlayerLatencies": A set of values, expressed in milliseconds, that indicates the amount of latency that a player experiences when connected to Amazon Web Services Regions. This information is used to try to place the new game session where it can offer the best possible gameplay experience for the players.
source
Main.Gamelift.start_match_backfillMethod
start_match_backfill(configuration_name, players)
start_match_backfill(configuration_name, players, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Backfill existing games with FlexMatch Matchmaking events (reference) How Amazon GameLift FlexMatch works

Arguments

  • configuration_name: Name of the matchmaker to use for this request. You can use either the configuration name or ARN value. The ARN of the matchmaker that was used with the original game session is listed in the GameSession object, MatchmakerData property.
  • players: Match information on all players that are currently assigned to the game session. This information is used by the matchmaker to find new players and add them to the existing game. You can include up to 199 Players in a StartMatchBackfill request. PlayerID, PlayerAttributes, Team – This information is maintained in the GameSession object, MatchmakerData property, for all players who are currently assigned to the game session. The matchmaker data is in JSON syntax, formatted as a string. For more details, see Match Data. The backfill request must specify the team membership for every player. Do not specify team if you are not using backfill. LatencyInMs – If the matchmaker uses player latency, include a latency value, in milliseconds, for the Region that the game session is currently in. Do not include latency values for any other Region.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "GameSessionArn": A unique identifier for the game session. Use the game session ID. When using FlexMatch as a standalone matchmaking solution, this parameter is not needed.
  • "TicketId": A unique identifier for a matchmaking ticket. If no ticket ID is specified here, Amazon GameLift will generate one in the form of a UUID. Use this identifier to track the match backfill ticket status and retrieve match results.
source
Main.Gamelift.start_matchmakingMethod
start_matchmaking(configuration_name, players)
start_matchmaking(configuration_name, players, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Add FlexMatch to a game client Set Up FlexMatch event notification How Amazon GameLift FlexMatch works

Arguments

  • configuration_name: Name of the matchmaking configuration to use for this request. Matchmaking configurations must exist in the same Region as this request. You can use either the configuration name or ARN value.
  • players: Information on each player to be matched. This information must include a player ID, and may contain player attributes and latency data to be used in the matchmaking process. After a successful match, Player objects contain the name of the team the player is assigned to. You can include up to 10 Players in a StartMatchmaking request.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "TicketId": A unique identifier for a matchmaking ticket. If no ticket ID is specified here, Amazon GameLift will generate one in the form of a UUID. Use this identifier to track the matchmaking ticket status and retrieve match results.

Main.Gamelift.stop_fleet_actionsMethod
stop_fleet_actions(actions, fleet_id)
stop_fleet_actions(actions, fleet_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

suspend_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, suspend_actions)
suspend_game_server_group(game_server_group_name, suspend_actions, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Main.Gamelift.update_fleet_capacityMethod
update_fleet_capacity(fleet_id)
update_fleet_capacity(fleet_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Updates capacity settings for a managed EC2 fleet or 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 DescribeFleetCapacity or DescribeFleetLocationCapacity. Learn more Scaling fleet capacity

Arguments

  • fleet_id: A unique identifier for the fleet to update capacity settings for. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "DesiredInstances": The number of Amazon EC2 instances you want to maintain in the specified fleet location. This value must fall between the minimum and maximum size limits. Changes in desired instance value can take up to 1 minute to be reflected when viewing the fleet's capacity settings.
  • "Location": The name of a remote location to update fleet capacity settings for, in the form of an Amazon Web Services Region code such as us-west-2.
  • "MaxSize": The maximum number of instances that are allowed in the specified fleet location. If this parameter is not set, the default is 1.
  • "MinSize": The minimum number of instances that are allowed in the specified fleet location. If this parameter is not set, the default is 0.

Main.Gamelift.update_game_serverMethod
update_game_server(game_server_group_name, game_server_id)
update_game_server(game_server_group_name, game_server_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: A unique identifier for the game server group where the game server is running.
  • game_server_id: A custom string that uniquely identifies the game server to update.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "GameServerData": A set of custom game server properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game client or service when it requests information on game servers.
  • "HealthCheck": Indicates health status of the game server. A request that includes this parameter updates the game server's LastHealthCheckTime timestamp.
  • "UtilizationStatus": Indicates if the game server is available or is currently hosting gameplay. You can update a game server status from AVAILABLE to UTILIZED, but you can't change a the status from UTILIZED to AVAILABLE.

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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide

Arguments

  • game_server_group_name: A unique identifier for the game server group. Use either the name or ARN value.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "BalancingStrategy": Indicates how Amazon GameLift FleetIQ balances the use of Spot Instances and On-Demand Instances in the game server group. Method options include the following: SPOTONLY - Only Spot Instances are used in the game server group. If Spot Instances are unavailable or not viable for game hosting, the game server group provides no hosting capacity until Spot Instances can again be used. Until then, no new instances are started, and the existing nonviable Spot Instances are terminated (after current gameplay ends) and are not replaced. SPOTPREFERRED - (default value) Spot Instances are used whenever available in the game server group. If Spot Instances are unavailable, the game server group continues to provide hosting capacity by falling back to On-Demand Instances. Existing nonviable Spot Instances are terminated (after current gameplay ends) and are replaced with new On-Demand Instances. ONDEMANDONLY - Only On-Demand Instances are used in the game server group. No Spot Instances are used, even when available, while this balancing strategy is in force.
  • "GameServerProtectionPolicy": A flag that indicates whether instances in the game server group are protected from early termination. Unprotected instances that have active game servers running might be terminated during a scale-down event, causing players to be dropped from the game. Protected instances cannot be terminated while there are active game servers running except in the event of a forced game server group deletion (see ). An exception to this is with Spot Instances, which can be terminated by Amazon Web Services regardless of protection status. This property is set to NO_PROTECTION by default.
  • "InstanceDefinitions": An updated list of Amazon EC2 instance types to use in the Auto Scaling group. The instance definitions must specify at least two different instance types that are supported by Amazon GameLift FleetIQ. This updated list replaces the entire current list of instance definitions for the game server group. For more information on instance types, see EC2 Instance Types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. You can optionally specify capacity weighting for each instance type. If no weight value is specified for an instance type, it is set to the default value "1". For more information about capacity weighting, see Instance Weighting for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
  • "RoleArn": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access your Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups.

Main.Gamelift.update_runtime_configurationMethod
update_runtime_configuration(fleet_id, runtime_configuration)
update_runtime_configuration(fleet_id, runtime_configuration, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Updates the runtime configuration for the specified fleet. The runtime configuration tells Amazon GameLift how to launch server processes on computes in the fleet. For managed EC2 fleets, it determines what server processes to run on each fleet instance. For container fleets, it describes what server processes to run in each replica container group. 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. Learn more Setting up Amazon GameLift fleets
