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:
This operation can be used in the following ways:
If successful, capacity settings are updated immediately. In response a change in desired capacity, 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.

--fleet-id <value>
[--desired-instances <value>]
[--min-size <value>]
[--max-size <value>]
[--location <value>]
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--fleet-id (string)
A unique identifier for the fleet to update capacity settings for. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value.
--desired-instances (integer)
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.
--min-size (integer)
The minimum number of instances that are allowed in the specified fleet location. If this parameter is not set, the default is 0.
--max-size (integer)
The maximum number of instances that are allowed in the specified fleet location. If this parameter is not set, the default is 1.
--location (string)
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 .
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
FleetId -> (string)
A unique identifier for the fleet that was updated.
FleetArn -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) that is assigned to a GameLift fleet resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::fleet/fleet-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912 .
Location -> (string)
The remote location being updated, expressed as an Amazon Web Services Region code, such as us-west-2 .
