get-compute-auth-token

Description

Requests an authentication token from Amazon GameLift for a compute resource in an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet or container fleet. Game servers that are running on the compute use this token to communicate with the Amazon GameLift service, such as when calling the Amazon GameLift server SDK action InitSDK() . Authentication tokens are valid for a limited time span, so you need to request a fresh token before the current token expires.

Use this operation based on the fleet compute type:

  • For EC2 fleets, auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically. All game servers that are running on all fleet instances have access to a valid auth token.
  • For ANYWHERE and CONTAINER fleets, if you're using the Amazon GameLift Agent, auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically for any container or Anywhere compute where the Agent is running. If you're not using the Agent, create a mechanism to retrieve and refresh auth tokens for computes that are running game server processes.

Options

--fleet-id (string)

A unique identifier for the fleet that the compute is registered to.

--compute-name (string)

The name of the compute resource you are requesting the authentication token for. For an Anywhere fleet compute, use the registered compute name. For an EC2 fleet instance, use the instance ID. For a container fleet, use the compute name (for example, a123b456c789012d3e4567f8a901b23c/1a234b56-7cd8-9e0f-a1b2-c34d567ef8a9 ) or the compute ARN.

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

FleetId -> (string)

A unique identifier for the fleet that the compute is registered to.

FleetArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) that is assigned to a Amazon 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 .

ComputeName -> (string)

The name of the compute resource that the authentication token is issued to.

ComputeArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) that is assigned to an Amazon GameLift compute resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::compute/compute-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912 .

AuthToken -> (string)

A valid temporary authentication token.

ExpirationTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The amount of time until the authentication token is no longer valid.
