Compute

An Amazon GameLift compute resource for hosting your game servers. Computes in an Amazon GameLift fleet differs depending on the fleet's compute type property as follows:

  • For managed EC2 fleets, a compute is an EC2 instance.

  • For Anywhere fleets, a compute is a computing resource that you provide and is registered to the fleet.

  • For managed container fleets, a compute is a container group in the fleet.

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

ComputeArn

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^arn:.*:compute\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?

Required: No

ComputeName

A descriptive label for the compute resource. For instances in a managed EC2 fleet, the compute name is the same value as the InstanceId ID.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?

Required: No

ComputeStatus

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

Type: String

Valid Values: PENDING | ACTIVE | TERMINATING | IMPAIRED

Required: No

ContainerAttributes

A set of attributes for each container in the compute.

Type: Array of ContainerAttribute objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 10 items.

Required: No

CreationTime

A time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

DnsName

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

Type: String

Required: No

FleetArn

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Pattern: ^arn:.*:[a-z]*fleet\/[a-z]*fleet-[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$

Required: No

FleetId

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-z]*fleet-[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+

Required: No

GameLiftAgentEndpoint

The endpoint of the Amazon GameLift Agent.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Required: No

GameLiftServiceSdkEndpoint

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Required: No

GameServerContainerGroupDefinitionArn

The game server container group definition for the compute.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$|^arn:.*:containergroupdefinition\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(:[0-9]+)?$

Required: No

InstanceId

The InstanceID of the EC2 instance that is hosting the compute.

Type: String

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+

Required: No

IpAddress

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[0-9A-Fa-f\:\.]+

Required: No

Location

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9\-]+

Required: No

OperatingSystem

The type of operating system on the compute resource.

Note

Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) will reach end of support on 6/30/2025. See more details in the Amazon Linux 2 FAQs. For game servers that are hosted on AL2 and use Amazon GameLift server SDK 4.x., first update the game server build to server SDK 5.x, and then deploy to AL2023 instances. See Migrate to Amazon GameLift server SDK version 5.

Type: String

Valid Values: WINDOWS_2012 | AMAZON_LINUX | AMAZON_LINUX_2 | WINDOWS_2016 | AMAZON_LINUX_2023

Required: No

Type

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