Description
Creates a new Amazon GameLift build record for your game server binary files and points to the location of your game server build files in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) location.
Game server binaries must be combined into a To create new builds quickly and easily, use the AWS CLI command upload-build. This helper command uploads your build and creates a new build record in one step, and automatically handles the necessary permissions.
.zip file for use with Amazon GameLift. CreateBuild operation should be used only when you need to manually upload your build files, as in the following scenarios: - Store a build file in an Amazon S3 bucket under your own AWS account. To use this option, you must first give Amazon GameLift access to that Amazon S3 bucket. To create a new build record using files in your Amazon S3 bucket, call
CreateBuildand specify a build name, operating system, and the storage location of your game build. - Upload a build file directly to Amazon GameLift's Amazon S3 account. To use this option, you first call
CreateBuildwith a build name and operating system. This action creates a new build record and returns an Amazon S3 storage location (bucket and key only) and temporary access credentials. Use the credentials to manually upload your build file to the storage location (see the Amazon S3 topic Uploading Objects). You can upload files to a location only once.
INITIALIZED status. You can use DescribeBuild to check the status of your build. A build must be in READY status before it can be used to create fleets. Learn moreUploading Your Game Create a Build with Files in Amazon S3Related operations Parameters
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Name <String>
Descriptive label that is associated with a build. Build names do not need to be unique. You can use UpdateBuild to change this value later.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 1 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
-OperatingSystem <OperatingSystem>
Operating system that the game server binaries are built to run on. This value determines the type of fleet resources that you can use for this build. If your game build contains multiple executables, they all must run on the same operating system. If an operating system is not specified when creating a build, Amazon GameLift uses the default value (WINDOWS_2012). This value cannot be changed later.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-StorageLocation_Bucket <String>
Amazon S3 bucket identifier. This is the name of the S3 bucket.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-StorageLocation_Key <String>
Name of the zip file containing the build files or script files.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-StorageLocation_ObjectVersion <String>
Version of the file, if object versioning is turned on for the bucket. Amazon GameLift uses this information when retrieving files from an S3 bucket that you own. Use this parameter to specify a specific version of the file; if not set, the latest version of the file is retrieved.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-StorageLocation_RoleArn <String>
Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access the S3 bucket.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Version <String>
Version that is associated with a build or script. Version strings do not need to be unique. You can use UpdateBuild to change this value later.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Common Credential and Region Parameters
-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information,
and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)
If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.
If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.
As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing
credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential
file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also
specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with
the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the
configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the
user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key
if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based
credentials.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.
Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Inputs
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the Name parameter.
Outputs
This cmdlet returns a Amazon.GameLift.Model.CreateBuildResponse object containing multiple properties. The object can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
