ClaimGameServer

$result = $client->claimGameServer([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->claimGameServerAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

CreateAlias

$result = $client->createAlias([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createAliasAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

CreateBuild

$result = $client->createBuild([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createBuildAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Details

Members

Name

Type: string

A descriptive label associated with a build. Build names don't need to be unique. You can change this value later.

OperatingSystem

Type: string

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

Type: string

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

Type: S3Location structure

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

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

CreateFleet

$result = $client->createFleet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createFleetAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a fleet of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances to host your custom game server or Realtime Servers. Use this operation to configure the computing resources for your fleet and provide instructions for running game servers on each instance.

Most Amazon GameLift fleets can deploy instances to multiple locations, including the home Region (where the fleet is created) and an optional set of remote locations. Fleets that are created in the following Amazon Web Services Regions support multiple locations: us-east-1 (N. Virginia), us-west-2 (Oregon), eu-central-1 (Frankfurt), eu-west-1 (Ireland), ap-southeast-2 (Sydney), ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo), and ap-northeast-2 (Seoul). Fleets that are created in other Amazon GameLift Regions can deploy instances in the fleet's home Region only. All fleet instances use the same configuration regardless of location; however, you can adjust capacity settings and turn auto-scaling on/off for each location.

To create a fleet, choose the hardware for your instances, specify a game server build or Realtime script to deploy, and provide a runtime configuration to direct Amazon GameLift how to start and run game servers on each instance in the fleet. Set permissions for inbound traffic to your game servers, and enable optional features as needed. When creating a multi-location fleet, provide a list of additional remote locations.

If you need to debug your fleet, fetch logs, view performance metrics or other actions on the fleet, create the development fleet with port 22/3389 open. As a best practice, we recommend opening ports for remote access only when you need them and closing them when you're finished.

If successful, this operation creates a new Fleet resource and places it in NEW status, which prompts Amazon GameLift to initiate the fleet creation workflow. You can track fleet creation by checking fleet status using DescribeFleetAttributes and DescribeFleetLocationAttributes/, or by monitoring fleet creation events using DescribeFleetEvents.

When the fleet status changes to ACTIVE, you can enable automatic scaling with PutScalingPolicy and set capacity for the home Region with UpdateFleetCapacity. When the status of each remote location reaches ACTIVE, you can set capacity by location using UpdateFleetCapacity.

Parameter Details

Members

AnywhereConfiguration

Type: AnywhereConfiguration structure

Amazon GameLift Anywhere configuration options.

BuildId

Type: string

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

CertificateConfiguration

Type: CertificateConfiguration structure

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

Type: string

The type of compute resource used to host your game servers. You can use your own compute resources with Amazon GameLift Anywhere or use Amazon EC2 instances with managed Amazon GameLift. By default, this property is set to EC2.

Description

Type: string

A description for the fleet.

EC2InboundPermissions

Type: Array of IpPermission structures

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

EC2InstanceType

Type: string

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

FleetType

Type: string

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

Type: string

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

Type: string

Prompts Amazon GameLift to generate a shared credentials file for the IAM role 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

Type: Array of LocationConfiguration structures

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. To create a fleet with instances in the home Region only, don't use this parameter.

To use this parameter, Amazon GameLift requires you to use your home location in the request.

LogPaths

Type: Array of strings

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

Type: Array of strings

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.

Name

Required: Yes
Type: string

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

NewGameSessionProtectionPolicy

Type: string

CreateFleetLocations

$result = $client->createFleetLocations([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createFleetLocationsAsync([/* ... */]);

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

This operation cannot be used with fleets that don't support remote locations. Fleets can have multiple locations only if they reside in Amazon Web Services Regions that support this feature and were created after the feature was released in March 2021.

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.

CreateGameServerGroup

$result = $client->createGameServerGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createGameServerGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Details

Members

AutoScalingPolicy

Type: GameServerGroupAutoScalingPolicy structure

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

Type: string

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:

SPOT_ONLY - 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.
SPOT_PREFERRED - (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.
ON_DEMAND_ONLY - 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.

GameServerGroupName

Required: Yes
Type: string

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.

GameServerProtectionPolicy

Type: string

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

Required: Yes
Type: Array of InstanceDefinition structures

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.

LaunchTemplate

Required: Yes
Type: LaunchTemplateSpecification structure

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.

MaxSize

Required: Yes
Type: int

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.

MinSize

Required: Yes
Type: int

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.

RoleArn

Required: Yes
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access your Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

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

Type: Array of strings

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.

CreateGameSession

$result = $client->createGameSession([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createGameSessionAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Details

Members

AliasId

Type: string

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

Type: string

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

Type: string

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

Type: Array of GameProperty structures

GameSessionData

Type: string

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

Type: string

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

Type: string

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:<region>::gamesession/<fleet ID>/<custom ID string or idempotency token>. 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

Type: string

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.

MaximumPlayerSessionCount

Required: Yes
Type: int

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

Name

Type: string

A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.

CreateGameSessionQueue

$result = $client->createGameSessionQueue([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createGameSessionQueueAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

CustomEventData

Type: string

Information to be added to all events that are related to this game session queue.

Destinations

Type: Array of GameSessionQueueDestination structures

A list of fleets and/or fleet aliases that can be used to fulfill game session placement requests in the queue. Destinations are identified by either a fleet ARN or a fleet alias ARN, and are listed in order of placement preference.

FilterConfiguration

Type: FilterConfiguration structure

A list of locations where a queue is allowed to place new game sessions. Locations are specified in the form of Amazon Web Services Region codes, such as us-west-2. If this parameter is not set, game sessions can be placed in any queue location.

Name

Required: Yes
Type: string

A descriptive label that is associated with game session queue. Queue names must be unique within each Region.

NotificationTarget

Type: string

An SNS topic ARN that is set up to receive game session placement notifications. See Setting up notifications for game session placement.

PlayerLatencyPolicies

Type: Array of PlayerLatencyPolicy structures

A set of policies that act as a sliding cap on player latency. FleetIQ works to deliver low latency for most players in a game session. These policies ensure that no individual player can be placed into a game with unreasonably high latency. Use multiple policies to gradually relax latency requirements a step at a time. Multiple policies are applied based on their maximum allowed latency, starting with the lowest value.

PriorityConfiguration

Type: PriorityConfiguration structure

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

CreateMatchmakingConfiguration

$result = $client->createMatchmakingConfiguration([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createMatchmakingConfigurationAsync([/* ... */]);

Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. Whether your are using FlexMatch with Amazon GameLift hosting or as a standalone matchmaking service, the matchmaking configuration sets out rules for matching players and forming teams. If you're also using Amazon GameLift hosting, it defines how to start game sessions for each match. Your matchmaking system can use multiple configurations to handle different game scenarios. All matchmaking requests identify the matchmaking configuration to use and provide player attributes consistent with that configuration.

To create a matchmaking configuration, you must provide the following: configuration name and FlexMatch mode (with or without Amazon GameLift hosting); a rule set that specifies how to evaluate players and find acceptable matches; whether player acceptance is required; and the maximum time allowed for a matchmaking attempt. When using FlexMatch with Amazon GameLift hosting, you also need to identify the game session queue to use when starting a game session for the match.

In addition, you must set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic to receive matchmaking notifications. Provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration.

CreatePlayerSessions

$result = $client->createPlayerSessions([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createPlayerSessionsAsync([/* ... */]);

Reserves open slots in a game session for a group of players. New player sessions can be created in any game session with an open slot that is in ACTIVE status and has a player creation policy of ACCEPT_ALL. To add a single player to a game session, use CreatePlayerSession

To create player sessions, specify a game session ID and a list of player IDs. Optionally, provide a set of player data for each player ID.

If successful, a slot is reserved in the game session for each player, and new PlayerSession objects are returned with player session IDs. Each player references their player session ID when sending a connection request to the game session, and the game server can use it to validate the player reservation with the Amazon GameLift service. Player sessions cannot be updated.

The maximum number of players per game session is 200. It is not adjustable.

CreateScript

$result = $client->createScript([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createScriptAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a new script record for your Realtime Servers script. Realtime scripts are JavaScript that provide configuration settings and optional custom game logic for your game. The script is deployed when you create a Realtime Servers fleet to host your game sessions. Script logic is executed during an active game session.

To create a new script record, specify a script name and provide the script file(s). The script files and all dependencies must be zipped into a single file. You can pull the zip file from either of these locations:

A locally available directory. Use the ZipFile parameter for this option.
An Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket under your Amazon Web Services account. Use the StorageLocation parameter for this option. You'll need to have an Identity Access Management (IAM) role that allows the Amazon GameLift service to access your S3 bucket.

If the call is successful, a new script record is created with a unique script ID. If the script file is provided as a local file, the file is uploaded to an Amazon GameLift-owned S3 bucket and the script record's storage location reflects this location. If the script file is provided as an S3 bucket, Amazon GameLift accesses the file at this storage location as needed for deployment.

Parameter Details

Members

Name

Type: string

A descriptive label that is associated with a script. Script names don't need to be unique. You can use UpdateScript to change this value later.

StorageLocation

Type: S3Location structure

The location of the Amazon S3 bucket where a zipped file containing your Realtime scripts is stored. The storage location must specify the Amazon S3 bucket name, the zip file name (the "key"), and a role ARN that allows Amazon GameLift to access the Amazon S3 storage location. The S3 bucket must be in the same Region where you want to create a new script. By default, Amazon GameLift uploads the latest version of the zip file; if you have S3 object versioning turned on, you can use the ObjectVersion parameter to specify an earlier version.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

A list of labels to assign to the new script 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

Type: string

Version information associated with a build or script. Version strings don't need to be unique. You can use UpdateScript to change this value later.

ZipFile

Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

A data object containing your Realtime scripts and dependencies as a zip file. The zip file can have one or multiple files. Maximum size of a zip file is 5 MB.

When using the Amazon Web Services CLI tool to create a script, this parameter is set to the zip file name. It must be prepended with the string "fileb://" to indicate that the file data is a binary object. For example: --zip-file fileb://myRealtimeScript.zip.

CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization

$result = $client->createVpcPeeringAuthorization([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createVpcPeeringAuthorizationAsync([/* ... */]);

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

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

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

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

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

CreateVpcPeeringConnection

$result = $client->createVpcPeeringConnection([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createVpcPeeringConnectionAsync([/* ... */]);

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

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

To establish the connection, call this operation from the Amazon Web Services account that is used to manage the Amazon GameLift fleets. Identify the following values: (1) The ID of the fleet you want to be enable a VPC peering connection for; (2) The Amazon Web Services account with the VPC that you want to peer with; and (3) The ID of the VPC you want to peer with. This operation is asynchronous. If successful, a connection request is created. You can use continuous polling to track the request's status using DescribeVpcPeeringConnections , or by monitoring fleet events for success or failure using DescribeFleetEvents .

DeleteGameServerGroup

$result = $client->deleteGameServerGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteGameServerGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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

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

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

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

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

Amazon GameLift FleetIQ emits delete events to Amazon CloudWatch.

DescribeEC2InstanceLimits

$result = $client->describeEC2InstanceLimits([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeEC2InstanceLimitsAsync([/* ... */]);

Retrieves the instance limits and current utilization for an Amazon Web Services Region or location. Instance limits control the number of instances, per instance type, per location, that your Amazon Web Services account can use. Learn more at Amazon EC2 Instance Types. The information returned includes the maximum number of instances allowed and your account's current usage across all fleets. This information can affect your ability to scale your Amazon GameLift fleets. You can request a limit increase for your account by using the Service limits page in the Amazon GameLift console.

Instance limits differ based on whether the instances are deployed in a fleet's home Region or in a remote location. For remote locations, limits also differ based on the combination of home Region and remote location. All requests must specify an Amazon Web Services Region (either explicitly or as your default settings). To get the limit for a remote location, you must also specify the location. For example, the following requests all return different results:

Request specifies the Region ap-northeast-1 with no location. The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in us-east-2, by all of the fleets that reside in ap-northeast-1.
Request specifies the Region us-east-1 with location ca-central-1. The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in ca-central-1, by all of the fleets that reside in us-east-2. These limits do not affect fleets in any other Regions that deploy instances to ca-central-1.
Request specifies the Region eu-west-1 with location ca-central-1. The result is limits and usage data on all instance types that are deployed in ca-central-1, by all of the fleets that reside in eu-west-1.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To get limit and usage data for all instance types that are deployed in an Amazon Web Services Region by fleets that reside in the same Region: Specify the Region only. Optionally, specify a single instance type to retrieve information for.
To get limit and usage data for all instance types that are deployed to a remote location by fleets that reside in different Amazon Web Services Region: Provide both the Amazon Web Services Region and the remote location. Optionally, specify a single instance type to retrieve information for.

If successful, an EC2InstanceLimits object is returned with limits and usage data for each requested instance type.

DescribeFleetAttributes

$result = $client->describeFleetAttributes([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeFleetAttributesAsync([/* ... */]);

Retrieves core fleet-wide properties, including the computing hardware and deployment configuration for all instances in the fleet.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To get attributes for one or more specific fleets, provide a list of fleet IDs or fleet ARNs.
To get attributes for all fleets, do not provide a fleet identifier.

When requesting attributes for multiple fleets, use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a FleetAttributes object is returned for each fleet requested, unless the fleet identifier is not found.

Some API operations limit the number of fleet IDs that allowed in one request. If a request exceeds this limit, the request fails and the error message contains the maximum allowed number.

DescribeFleetCapacity

$result = $client->describeFleetCapacity([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeFleetCapacityAsync([/* ... */]);

Retrieves the resource capacity settings for one or more fleets. The data returned includes the current fleet capacity (number of EC2 instances), and settings that can control how capacity scaling. For fleets with remote locations, this operation retrieves data for the fleet's home Region only.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To get capacity data for one or more specific fleets, provide a list of fleet IDs or fleet ARNs.
To get capacity data for all fleets, do not provide a fleet identifier.

When requesting multiple fleets, use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a FleetCapacity object is returned for each requested fleet ID. Each FleetCapacity object includes a Location property, which is set to the fleet's home Region. When a list of fleet IDs is provided, attribute objects are returned only for fleets that currently exist.

Some API operations may limit the number of fleet IDs that are allowed in one request. If a request exceeds this limit, the request fails and the error message includes the maximum allowed.

DescribeFleetPortSettings

$result = $client->describeFleetPortSettings([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeFleetPortSettingsAsync([/* ... */]);

Retrieves a fleet's inbound connection permissions. Connection permissions specify the range of IP addresses and port settings that incoming traffic can use to access server processes in the fleet. Game sessions that are running on instances in the fleet must use connections that fall in this range.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To retrieve the inbound connection permissions for a fleet, identify the fleet's unique identifier.
To check the status of recent updates to a fleet remote location, specify the fleet ID and a location. Port setting updates can take time to propagate across all locations.

If successful, a set of IpPermission objects is returned for the requested fleet ID. When a location is specified, a pending status is included. If the requested fleet has been deleted, the result set is empty.

Retrieves utilization statistics for one or more fleets. Utilization data provides a snapshot of how the fleet's hosting resources are currently being used. For fleets with remote locations, this operation retrieves data for the fleet's home Region only. See DescribeFleetLocationUtilization to get utilization statistics for a fleet's remote locations.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

To get utilization data for one or more specific fleets, provide a list of fleet IDs or fleet ARNs.
To get utilization data for all fleets, do not provide a fleet identifier.

When requesting multiple fleets, use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a FleetUtilization object is returned for each requested fleet ID, unless the fleet identifier is not found. Each fleet utilization object includes a Location property, which is set to the fleet's home Region.

Some API operations may limit the number of fleet IDs allowed in one request. If a request exceeds this limit, the request fails and the error message includes the maximum allowed.

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.

PutScalingPolicy

$result = $client->putScalingPolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putScalingPolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

RegisterGameServer

$result = $client->registerGameServer([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->registerGameServerAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

SearchGameSessions

$result = $client->searchGameSessions([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->searchGameSessionsAsync([/* ... */]);

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 be continually called to track game session status. This practice can cause you to exceed your API limit, which results in errors. Instead, you must configure configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic to receive notifications from FlexMatch or queues. Continuously polling game session status with DescribeGameSessions should only be used for games in development with low game session usage.

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 .

You can search or sort by the following game session attributes:

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 -- Custom data defined in a game session's GameProperty parameter. GameProperty values are stored as key:value pairs; the filter expression must indicate the key and a string to search the data values for. For example, to search for game sessions with custom data containing the key:value pair "gameMode:brawl", specify the following: gameSessionProperties.gameMode = "brawl". All custom data values are searched as strings.
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.

Parameter Syntax

Members

AliasId

Type: string

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

Type: string

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: =, <>, <, >, <=, >=.
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 <>. 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:

=, <>, <, >, <=, >=
Parentheses
NOT
AND
OR

For example, this filter expression retrieves game sessions hosting at least ten players that have an open player slot: "maximumSessions>=10 AND hasAvailablePlayerSessions=true".

FleetId

Type: string

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

Type: int

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

Type: string

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

Type: string

SortExpression

Type: string

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.

StartFleetActions

$result = $client->startFleetActions([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startFleetActionsAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

StartGameSessionPlacement

$result = $client->startGameSessionPlacement([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startGameSessionPlacementAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

StartMatchBackfill

$result = $client->startMatchBackfill([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startMatchBackfillAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

StartMatchmaking

$result = $client->startMatchmaking([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startMatchmakingAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

StopFleetActions

$result = $client->stopFleetActions([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->stopFleetActionsAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

SuspendGameServerGroup

$result = $client->suspendGameServerGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->suspendGameServerGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

UpdateFleetCapacity

$result = $client->updateFleetCapacity([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateFleetCapacityAsync([/* ... */]);

Updates capacity settings for a fleet. For fleets with multiple locations, use this operation to manage capacity settings in each location individually. Fleet capacity determines the number of game sessions and players that can be hosted based on the fleet configuration. Use this operation to set the following fleet capacity properties:

Minimum/maximum size: Set hard limits on fleet capacity. Amazon GameLift cannot set the fleet's capacity to a value outside of this range, whether the capacity is changed manually or through automatic scaling.
Desired capacity: Manually set the number of Amazon EC2 instances to be maintained in a fleet location. Before changing a fleet's desired capacity, you may want to call DescribeEC2InstanceLimits to get the maximum capacity of the fleet's Amazon EC2 instance type. Alternatively, consider using automatic scaling to adjust capacity based on player demand.

This operation can be used in the following ways:

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, include the Location parameter set to the location to be updated. The location must be in ACTIVE status.

If successful, capacity settings are updated immediately. In response a change in desired capacity, Amazon GameLift initiates steps to start new instances or terminate existing instances in the requested fleet location. This continues until the location's active instance count matches the new desired instance count. You can track a fleet's current capacity by calling DescribeFleetCapacity or DescribeFleetLocationCapacity. If the requested desired instance count is higher than the instance type's limit, the LimitExceeded exception occurs.

UpdateGameServer

$result = $client->updateGameServer([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateGameServerAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

BalancingStrategy

Type: string

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:

SPOT_ONLY - 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.
SPOT_PREFERRED - (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.
ON_DEMAND_ONLY - 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.

UpdateRuntimeConfiguration

$result = $client->updateRuntimeConfiguration([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateRuntimeConfigurationAsync([/* ... */]);

Updates the current runtime configuration for the specified fleet, which tells Amazon GameLift how to launch server processes on all instances in the fleet. 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. Each instance in the fleet regularly checks for and retrieves updated runtime configurations. Instances immediately begin complying with the new configuration by launching new server processes or not replacing existing processes when they shut down. Updating a fleet's runtime configuration never affects existing server processes.

UpdateScript

$result = $client->updateScript([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateScriptAsync([/* ... */]);

Updates Realtime script metadata and content.

To update script metadata, specify the script ID and provide updated name and/or version values.

To update script content, provide an updated zip file by pointing to either a local file or an Amazon S3 bucket location. You can use either method regardless of how the original script was uploaded. Use the Version parameter to track updates to the script.

If the call is successful, the updated metadata is stored in the script record and a revised script is uploaded to the Amazon GameLift service. Once the script is updated and acquired by a fleet instance, the new version is used for all new game sessions.
