FleetAttributes - Amazon GameLift

FleetAttributes

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview.

Describes an Amazon GameLift fleet of game hosting resources. Attributes differ based on the fleet's compute type, as follows:

  • EC2 fleet attributes identify a Build resource (for fleets with customer game server builds) or a Script resource (for Realtime Servers fleets).

  • Container fleets have ContainerGroupsAttributes, which identify the fleet's ContainerGroupDefinition resources.

  • Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleets have an abbreviated set of attributes, because most fleet configurations are set directly on the fleet's computes. Attributes include fleet identifiers and descriptive properties, creation/termination time, and fleet status.

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

AnywhereConfiguration

This property is used with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview. A set of attributes that describe the container groups that are deployed on the fleet. These attributes are included for fleets with compute type CONTAINER only. This attribute is used with fleets where ComputeType is "Container".

Type: AnywhereConfiguration object

Required: No

BuildArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the Amazon GameLift build resource that is deployed on instances in this fleet. In a GameLift build ARN, the resource ID matches the BuildId value. This attribute is used with fleets where ComputeType is "EC2".

Type: String

Pattern: ^arn:.*:build\/build-\S+

Required: No

BuildId

A unique identifier for the build resource that is deployed on instances in this fleet. This attribute is used with fleets where ComputeType is "EC2".

Pattern: ^build-\S+

Required: No

CertificateConfiguration

Determines whether a TLS/SSL certificate is generated for a fleet. This feature must be enabled when creating the fleet. All instances in a fleet share the same certificate.

Type: CertificateConfiguration object

Required: No

ComputeType

The type of compute resource used to host your game servers. You can use your own compute resources with Amazon GameLift Anywhere or use Amazon EC2 instances with managed Amazon GameLift.
