LocationStates

This value is the set of locations, including their name, current status, and capacities.

A location can be in one of the following states:

  • ACTIVATING: Amazon GameLift Streams is preparing the location. You cannot stream from, scale the capacity of, or remove this location yet.

  • ACTIVE: The location is provisioned with initial capacity. You can now stream from, scale the capacity of, or remove this location.

  • ERROR: Amazon GameLift Streams failed to set up this location. The StatusReason field describes the error. You can remove this location and try to add it again.

  • REMOVING: Amazon GameLift Streams is working to remove this location. It releases all provisioned capacity for this location in this stream group.

Type: Array of LocationState objects

Status

The current status of the stream group resource. Possible statuses include the following:

  • ACTIVATING: The stream group is deploying and isn't ready to host streams.

  • ACTIVE: The stream group is ready to host streams.

  • ACTIVE_WITH_ERRORS: One or more locations in the stream group are in an error state. Verify the details of individual locations and remove any locations which are in error.

  • ERROR: An error occurred when the stream group deployed. See StatusReason for more information.

  • DELETING: Amazon GameLift Streams is in the process of deleting the stream group.

  • UPDATING_LOCATIONS: One or more locations in the stream group are in the process of updating (either activating or deleting).

Type: String

Valid Values: ACTIVATING | UPDATING_LOCATIONS | ACTIVE | ACTIVE_WITH_ERRORS | ERROR | DELETING

StatusReason

A short description of the reason that the stream group is in ERROR status. The possible reasons can be one of the following:

  • internalError: The request can't process right now bcause of an issue with the server. Try again later. Reach out to the Amazon GameLift Streams team for more help.

  • noAvailableInstances: Amazon GameLift Streams does not currently have enough available On-Demand capacity to fulfill your request. Wait a few minutes and retry the request as capacity can shift frequently. You can also try to make the request using a different stream class or in another region.
