A matchmaking configuration may require player acceptance; if so, then matches built with that configuration cannot be completed unless all players accept the proposed match within a specified time limit. When FlexMatch builds a match, all the matchmaking tickets involved in the proposed match are placed into status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE. This is a trigger for your game to get acceptance from all players in each ticket. Calls to this action are only valid for tickets that are in this status; calls for tickets not in this status result in an error. To register acceptance, specify the ticket ID, one or more players, and an acceptance response. When all players have accepted, Amazon GameLift advances the matchmaking tickets to status PLACING, and attempts to create a new game session for the match. If any player rejects the match, or if acceptances are not received before a specified timeout, the proposed match is dropped. Each matchmaking ticket in the failed match is handled as follows: If the ticket has one or more players who rejected the match or failed to respond, the ticket status is set CANCELLED and processing is terminated. If all players in the ticket accepted the match, the ticket status is returned to SEARCHING to find a new match. Learn more Add FlexMatch to a game client FlexMatch events (reference) | | POST | / | 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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide | | POST | / | 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. Related actions All APIs by task | | POST | / | 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. Learn more Uploading Your Game Create a Build with Files in Amazon S3 All APIs by task | | POST | / | This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Creates a ContainerGroupDefinition resource that describes a set of containers for hosting your game server with Amazon GameLift managed EC2 hosting. An Amazon GameLift container group is similar to a container "task" and "pod". Each container group can have one or more containers. Use container group definitions when you create a container fleet. Container group definitions determine how Amazon GameLift deploys your containers to each instance in a container fleet. You can create two types of container groups, based on scheduling strategy: A replica container group manages the containers that run your game server application and supporting software. Replica container groups might be replicated multiple times on each fleet instance, depending on instance resources. A daemon container group manages containers that run other software, such as background services, logging, or test processes. You might use a daemon container group for processes that need to run only once per fleet instance, or processes that need to persist independently of the replica container group. To create a container group definition, specify a group name, a list of container definitions, and maximum total CPU and memory requirements for the container group. Specify an operating system and scheduling strategy or use the default values. When using the Amazon Web Services CLI tool, you can pass in your container definitions as a JSON file. This operation requires Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to access container images in Amazon ECR repositories. See IAM permissions for Amazon GameLift for help setting the appropriate permissions. If successful, this operation creates a new ContainerGroupDefinition resource with an ARN value assigned. You can't change the properties of a container group definition. Instead, create a new one. Learn more Create a container group definition Container fleet design guide Create a container definition as a JSON file | | POST | / | This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Creates a fleet of compute resources to host your game servers. Use this operation to set up the following types of fleets based on compute type: Managed EC2 fleet An EC2 fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Your game server build is deployed to each fleet instance. Amazon GameLift manages the fleet's instances and controls the lifecycle of game server processes, which host game sessions for players. EC2 fleets can have instances in multiple locations. Each instance in the fleet is designated a Compute. To create an EC2 fleet, provide these required parameters: Either BuildId or ScriptId ComputeType set to EC2 (the default value) EC2InboundPermissions EC2InstanceType FleetType Name RuntimeConfiguration with at least one ServerProcesses configuration If successful, this operation creates a new fleet resource and places it in NEW status while Amazon GameLift initiates the fleet creation workflow. To debug your fleet, fetch logs, view performance metrics or other actions on the fleet, create a 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. When the fleet status is ACTIVE, you can adjust capacity settings and turn autoscaling on/off for each location. Managed container fleet A container fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Your container architecture is deployed to each fleet instance based on the fleet configuration. Amazon GameLift manages the containers on each fleet instance and controls the lifecycle of game server processes, which host game sessions for players. Container fleets can have instances in multiple locations. Each container on an instance that runs game server processes is registered as a Compute. To create a container fleet, provide these required parameters: ComputeType set to CONTAINER ContainerGroupsConfiguration EC2InboundPermissions EC2InstanceType FleetType set to ON_DEMAND Name RuntimeConfiguration with at least one ServerProcesses configuration If successful, this operation creates a new fleet resource and places it in NEW status while Amazon GameLift initiates the fleet creation workflow. When the fleet status is ACTIVE, you can adjust capacity settings and turn autoscaling on/off for each location. Anywhere fleet An Anywhere fleet represents compute resources that are not owned or managed by Amazon GameLift. You might create an Anywhere fleet with your local machine for testing, or use one to host game servers with on-premises hardware or other game hosting solutions. To create an Anywhere fleet, provide these required parameters: ComputeType set to ANYWHERE Locations specifying a custom location Name If successful, this operation creates a new fleet resource and places it in ACTIVE status. You can register computes with a fleet in ACTIVE status. Learn more Setting up fleets Setting up a container fleet Debug fleet creation issues Multi-location fleets | | POST | / | This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. Adds remote locations to an EC2 or container fleet and begins populating the new locations with instances. The new instances conform to the fleet's instance type, auto-scaling, and other configuration settings. You can't add remote locations to a fleet that resides in an Amazon Web Services Region that doesn't support multiple locations. Fleets created prior to March 2021 can't support multiple locations. 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. Learn more Setting up fleets Update fleet locations Amazon GameLift service locations for managed hosting. | | POST | / | 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. Learn more Amazon GameLift FleetIQ Guide | | POST | / | 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. Learn more Start a game session All APIs by task | | POST | / | 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.

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. Learn more Design a FlexMatch matchmaker Set up FlexMatch event notification | | POST | / | Creates a new rule set for FlexMatch matchmaking. A rule set describes the type of match to create, such as the number and size of teams. It also sets the parameters for acceptable player matches, such as minimum skill level or character type. To create a matchmaking rule set, provide unique rule set name and the rule set body in JSON format. Rule sets must be defined in the same Region as the matchmaking configuration they are used with. Since matchmaking rule sets cannot be edited, it is a good idea to check the rule set syntax using ValidateMatchmakingRuleSet before creating a new rule set. Learn more Build a rule set Design a matchmaker Matchmaking with FlexMatch | | POST | / | Reserves an open player slot in a game session for a player. 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. You can add a group of players to a game session with CreatePlayerSessions . To create a player session, specify a game session ID, player ID, and optionally a set of player data. If successful, a slot is reserved in the game session for the player and a new PlayerSessions object is returned with a player session ID. The player references the 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.

Related actions All APIs by task | | POST | / | 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.

Learn more Manage a container group definition | | POST | / | 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.
