Description

Updates properties in an existing container group definition. This operation doesn't replace the definition. Instead, it creates a new version of the definition and saves it separately. You can access all versions that you choose to retain. The only property you can't update is the container group type. Request options:
  • Update based on the latest version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name only, or use an ARN value without a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the latest version.
  • Update based on a specific version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name and a source version number, or use an ARN value with a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the source version.
  • Change a game server container definition. Provide the updated container definition.
  • Add or change a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, including the updated definition.
  • Remove a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, excluding the definition to remove. If the container group has only one support container definition, provide an empty set.
Results: If successful, this operation returns the complete properties of the new container group definition version. If the container group definition version is used in an active fleets, the update automatically initiates a new fleet deployment of the new version. You can track a fleet's deployments using ListFleetDeployments.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonGameLiftConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.GML.AmazonGameLiftClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-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?True (ByPropertyName)
-GameServerContainerDefinition_ContainerName <String>
A string that uniquely identifies the container definition within a container group.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-GameServerContainerDefinition_DependsOn <ContainerDependency[]>
Establishes dependencies between this container and the status of other containers in the same container group. A container can have dependencies on multiple different containers. You can use dependencies to establish a startup/shutdown sequence across the container group. For example, you might specify that ContainerB has a START dependency on ContainerA. This dependency means that ContainerB can't start until after ContainerA has started. This dependency is reversed on shutdown, which means that ContainerB must shut down before ContainerA can shut down. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-GameServerContainerDefinition_EnvironmentOverride <ContainerEnvironment[]>
A set of environment variables to pass to the container on startup. See the ContainerDefinition::environment parameter in the Amazon Elastic Container Service API Reference. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-GameServerContainerDefinition_ImageUri <String>
The location of the container image to deploy to a container fleet. Provide an image in an Amazon Elastic Container Registry public or private repository. The repository must be in the same Amazon Web Services account and Amazon Web Services Region where you're creating the container group definition. For limits on image size, see Amazon GameLift Servers endpoints and quotas. You can use any of the following image URI formats:
  • Image ID only: [AWS account].dkr.ecr.[AWS region].amazonaws.com/[repository ID]
  • Image ID and digest: [AWS account].dkr.ecr.[AWS region].amazonaws.com/[repository ID]@[digest]
  • Image ID and tag: [AWS account].dkr.ecr.[AWS region].amazonaws.com/[repository ID]:[tag]
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-GameServerContainerDefinition_MountPoint <ContainerMountPoint[]>
A mount point that binds a path inside the container to a file or directory on the host system and lets it access the file or directory. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesGameServerContainerDefinition_MountPoints

Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-OperatingSystem <ContainerOperatingSystem>
The platform that all containers in the group use. Containers in a group must run on the same operating system.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 server SDK version 4.x for Amazon GameLift Servers, first update the game server build to server SDK 5.x, and then deploy to AL2023 instances. See Migrate to server SDK version 5.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PortConfiguration_ContainerPortRange <ContainerPortRange[]>
A set of one or more container port number ranges. The ranges can't overlap if the ranges' network protocols are the same. Overlapping ranges with different protocols is allowed but not recommended. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'ContainerGroupDefinition'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.GameLift.Model.UpdateContainerGroupDefinitionResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.GameLift.Model.UpdateContainerGroupDefinitionResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
