DESCRIPTION

Amazon GameLift Service

Amazon GameLift is a managed service for developers who need a scalable, dedicated server solution for their multiplayer games. Amazon GameLift provides tools for the following tasks: (1) acquire computing resources and deploy game servers, (2) scale game server capacity to meet player demand, (3) host game sessions and manage player access, and (4) track in-depth metrics on player usage and server performance.

The Amazon GameLift service API includes two important function sets:

  • Manage game sessions and player access -- Retrieve information on available game sessions; create new game sessions; send player requests to join a game session.

  • Configure and manage game server resources -- Manage builds, fleets, queues, and aliases; set autoscaling policies; retrieve logs and metrics.

This reference guide describes the low-level service API for Amazon GameLift. You can use the API functionality with these tools:

  • The Amazon Web Services software development kit (AWS SDK) is available in multiple languages including C++ and C#. Use the SDK to access the API programmatically from an application, such as a game client.

  • The AWS command-line interface (CLI) tool is primarily useful for handling administrative actions, such as setting up and managing Amazon GameLift settings and resources. You can use the AWS CLI to manage all of your AWS services.

  • The AWS Management Console for Amazon GameLift provides a web interface to manage your Amazon GameLift settings and resources. The console includes a dashboard for tracking key resources, including builds and fleets, and displays usage and performance metrics for your games as customizable graphs.

  • Amazon GameLift Local is a tool for testing your game's integration with Amazon GameLift before deploying it on the service. This tools supports a subset of key API actions, which can be called from either the AWS CLI or programmatically. See Testing an Integration.

METHODS

AcceptMatch(AcceptanceType => Str, PlayerIds => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], TicketId => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::AcceptMatch

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::AcceptMatchOutput instance

Registers a player's acceptance or rejection of a proposed FlexMatch
match. 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 the ticket. Acceptances are only valid for tickets when they are in this status; all other acceptances result in an error.

To register acceptance, specify the ticket ID, a response, and one or more players. Once all players have registered acceptance, the matchmaking tickets advance to status PLACING, where a new game session is created for the match.

If any player rejects the match, or if acceptances are not received before a specified timeout, the proposed match is dropped. The matchmaking tickets are then handled in one of two ways: For tickets where all players accepted the match, the ticket status is returned to SEARCHING to find a new match. For tickets where one or more players failed to accept the match, the ticket status is set to FAILED, and processing is terminated. A new matchmaking request for these players can be submitted as needed.

Matchmaking-related operations include:

  • StartMatchmaking

  • DescribeMatchmaking

  • StopMatchmaking

  • AcceptMatch

CreateAlias(Name => Str, RoutingStrategy => Paws::GameLift::RoutingStrategy, [Description => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateAlias

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateAliasOutput instance

Creates an alias for a fleet. In most situations, you can use an alias
ID in place of a fleet ID. By using a fleet alias instead of a specific
fleet ID, you can switch gameplay and players to a new fleet without
changing your game client or other game components. For example, for
games in production, using an alias allows you to seamlessly redirect
your player base to a new game server update.

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, which you can reference when creating a game session. You can reassign an alias to another fleet by calling UpdateAlias.

Alias-related operations include:

  • CreateAlias

  • ListAliases

  • DescribeAlias

  • UpdateAlias

  • DeleteAlias

  • ResolveAlias

CreateBuild([Name => Str, OperatingSystem => Str, StorageLocation => Paws::GameLift::S3Location, Version => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateBuild

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateBuildOutput instance

Creates a new Amazon GameLift build from a set of game server binary
files stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) location.
To use this API call, create a C<.zip> file containing all of the files
for the build and store it in an Amazon S3 bucket under your AWS
account. For help on packaging your build files and creating a build,
see Uploading Your Game to Amazon GameLift.

Use this API action ONLY if you are storing your game build files in an Amazon S3 bucket. To create a build using files stored locally, use the CLI command upload-build , which uploads the build files from a file location you specify.

To create a new build using CreateBuild, identify the storage location and operating system of your game build. You also have the option of specifying a build name and version. If successful, this action creates a new build record with an unique build ID and in INITIALIZED status. Use the API call DescribeBuild to check the status of your build. A build must be in READY status before it can be used to create fleets to host your game.

Build-related operations include:

  • CreateBuild

  • ListBuilds

  • DescribeBuild

  • UpdateBuild

  • DeleteBuild

CreateFleet(BuildId => Str, EC2InstanceType => Str, Name => Str, [Description => Str, EC2InboundPermissions => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::IpPermission], LogPaths => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], MetricGroups => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], NewGameSessionProtectionPolicy => Str, PeerVpcAwsAccountId => Str, PeerVpcId => Str, ResourceCreationLimitPolicy => Paws::GameLift::ResourceCreationLimitPolicy, RuntimeConfiguration => Paws::GameLift::RuntimeConfiguration, ServerLaunchParameters => Str, ServerLaunchPath => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateFleet

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateFleetOutput instance

Creates a new fleet to run your game servers. A fleet is a set of
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, each of which can
run multiple server processes to host game sessions. You configure a
fleet to create instances with certain hardware specifications (see
Amazon EC2 Instance Types for more information), and deploy a specified
game build to each instance. A newly created fleet passes through
several statuses; once it reaches the C<ACTIVE> status, it can begin
hosting game sessions.

To create a new fleet, you must specify the following: (1) fleet name, (2) build ID of an uploaded game build, (3) an EC2 instance type, and (4) a run-time configuration that describes which server processes to run on each instance in the fleet. (Although the run-time configuration is not a required parameter, the fleet cannot be successfully activated without it.)

You can also configure the new fleet with the following settings:

  • Fleet description

  • Access permissions for inbound traffic

  • Fleet-wide game session protection

  • Resource creation limit

If you use Amazon CloudWatch for metrics, you can add the new fleet to a metric group. This allows you to view aggregated metrics for a set of fleets. Once you specify a metric group, the new fleet's metrics are included in the metric group's data.

You have the option of creating a VPC peering connection with the new fleet. For more information, see VPC Peering with Amazon GameLift Fleets.

If the CreateFleet call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks:

  • Creates a fleet record and sets the status to NEW (followed by other statuses as the fleet is activated).

  • Sets the fleet's target capacity to 1 (desired instances), which causes Amazon GameLift to start one new EC2 instance.

  • Starts launching server processes on the instance. If the fleet is configured to run multiple server processes per instance, Amazon GameLift staggers each launch by a few seconds.

  • Begins writing events to the fleet event log, which can be accessed in the Amazon GameLift console.

  • Sets the fleet's status to ACTIVE as soon as one server process in the fleet is ready to host a game session.

CreateGameSession(MaximumPlayerSessionCount => Int, [AliasId => Str, CreatorId => Str, FleetId => Str, GameProperties => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::GameProperty], GameSessionData => Str, GameSessionId => Str, IdempotencyToken => Str, Name => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateGameSession

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateGameSessionOutput instance

Creates a multiplayer game session for players. This action creates a
game session record and assigns an available server process in the
specified fleet to host the game session. A fleet must have an
C<ACTIVE> status before a game session can be created in it.

To create a game session, specify either fleet ID or alias ID and indicate a maximum number of players to allow in the game session. You can also provide a name and game-specific properties for this game session. If successful, a GameSession object is returned containing the game session properties and other settings you specified.

Idempotency tokens. You can add a token that uniquely identifies game session requests. This is useful for ensuring that game session requests are idempotent. Multiple requests with the same idempotency token are processed only once; subsequent requests return the original result. All response values are the same with the exception of game session status, which may change.

Resource creation limits. If you are creating a game session on a fleet with a resource creation limit policy in force, then you must specify a creator ID. Without this ID, Amazon GameLift has no way to evaluate the policy for this new game session request.

Player acceptance policy. 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.

Game session logs. Logs are retained for all active game sessions for 14 days. To access the logs, call GetGameSessionLogUrl to download the log files.

Available in Amazon GameLift Local.

Game-session-related operations include:

CreateGameSessionQueue(Name => Str, [Destinations => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::GameSessionQueueDestination], PlayerLatencyPolicies => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::PlayerLatencyPolicy], TimeoutInSeconds => Int])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateGameSessionQueue

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateGameSessionQueueOutput instance

Establishes a new queue for processing requests to place new game
sessions. A queue identifies where new game sessions can be hosted --
by specifying a list of destinations (fleets or aliases) -- and how
long requests can wait in the queue before timing out. You can set up a
queue to try to place game sessions on fleets in multiple regions. To
add placement requests to a queue, call StartGameSessionPlacement and
reference the queue name.

Destination order. When processing a request for a game session, Amazon GameLift tries each destination in order until it finds one with available resources to host the new game session. A queue's default order is determined by how destinations are listed. The default order is overridden when a game session placement request provides player latency information. Player latency information enables Amazon GameLift to prioritize destinations where players report the lowest average latency, as a result placing the new game session where the majority of players will have the best possible gameplay experience.

Player latency policies. For placement requests containing player latency information, use player latency policies to protect individual players from very high latencies. With a latency cap, even when a destination can deliver a low latency for most players, the game is not placed where any individual player is reporting latency higher than a policy's maximum. A queue can have multiple latency policies, which are enforced consecutively starting with the policy with the lowest latency cap. Use multiple policies to gradually relax latency controls; for example, you might set a policy with a low latency cap for the first 60 seconds, a second policy with a higher cap for the next 60 seconds, etc.

To create a new queue, provide a name, timeout value, a list of destinations and, if desired, a set of latency policies. If successful, a new queue object is returned.

Queue-related operations include:

  • CreateGameSessionQueue

  • DescribeGameSessionQueues

  • UpdateGameSessionQueue

  • DeleteGameSessionQueue

CreateMatchmakingConfiguration(AcceptanceRequired => Bool, GameSessionQueueArns => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], Name => Str, RequestTimeoutSeconds => Int, RuleSetName => Str, [AcceptanceTimeoutSeconds => Int, AdditionalPlayerCount => Int, CustomEventData => Str, Description => Str, GameProperties => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::GameProperty], GameSessionData => Str, NotificationTarget => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateMatchmakingConfiguration

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateMatchmakingConfigurationOutput instance

Defines a new matchmaking configuration for use with FlexMatch. A
matchmaking configuration sets out guidelines for matching players and
getting the matches into games. You can set up multiple matchmaking
configurations to handle the scenarios needed for your game. Each
matchmaking request (StartMatchmaking) specifies a configuration for
the match and provides player attributes to support the configuration
being used.

To create a matchmaking configuration, at a minimum you must specify the following: configuration name; a rule set that governs how to evaluate players and find acceptable matches; a game session queue to use when placing a new game session for the match; and the maximum time allowed for a matchmaking attempt.

Player acceptance -- In each configuration, you have the option to require that all players accept participation in a proposed match. To enable this feature, set AcceptanceRequired to true and specify a time limit for player acceptance. Players have the option to accept or reject a proposed match, and a match does not move ahead to game session placement unless all matched players accept.

Matchmaking status notification -- There are two ways to track the progress of matchmaking tickets: (1) polling ticket status with DescribeMatchmaking; or (2) receiving notifications with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). To use notifications, you first need to set up an SNS topic to receive the notifications, and provide the topic ARN in the matchmaking configuration (see Setting up Notifications for Matchmaking). Since notifications promise only "best effort" delivery, we recommend calling DescribeMatchmaking if no notifications are received within 30 seconds.

Operations related to match configurations and rule sets include:

  • CreateMatchmakingConfiguration

  • DescribeMatchmakingConfigurations

  • UpdateMatchmakingConfiguration

  • DeleteMatchmakingConfiguration

  • CreateMatchmakingRuleSet

  • DescribeMatchmakingRuleSets

  • ValidateMatchmakingRuleSet

CreateMatchmakingRuleSet(Name => Str, RuleSetBody => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateMatchmakingRuleSet

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateMatchmakingRuleSetOutput instance

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, and
sets the parameters for acceptable player matches, such as minimum
skill level or character type. Rule sets are used in matchmaking
configurations, which define how matchmaking requests are handled. Each
MatchmakingConfiguration uses one rule set; you can set up multiple
rule sets to handle the scenarios that suit your game (such as for
different game modes), and create a separate matchmaking configuration
for each rule set. See additional information on rule set content in
the MatchmakingRuleSet structure. For help creating rule sets,
including useful examples, see the topic Adding FlexMatch to Your Game.

Once created, matchmaking rule sets cannot be changed or deleted, so we recommend checking the rule set syntax using ValidateMatchmakingRuleSetbefore creating the rule set.

To create a matchmaking rule set, provide the set of rules and a unique name. Rule sets must be defined in the same region as the matchmaking configuration they will be used with. Rule sets cannot be edited or deleted. If you need to change a rule set, create a new one with the necessary edits and then update matchmaking configurations to use the new rule set.

Operations related to match configurations and rule sets include:

  • CreateMatchmakingConfiguration

  • DescribeMatchmakingConfigurations

  • UpdateMatchmakingConfiguration

  • DeleteMatchmakingConfiguration

CreatePlayerSession(GameSessionId => Str, PlayerId => Str, [PlayerData => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreatePlayerSession

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreatePlayerSessionOutput instance

Adds a player to a game session and creates a player session record.
Before a player can be added, a game session must have an C<ACTIVE>
status, have a creation policy of C<ALLOW_ALL>, and have an open player
slot. To add a group of players to a game session, use
CreatePlayerSessions.

To create a player session, specify a game session ID, player ID, and optionally a string of player data. If successful, the player is added to the game session and a new PlayerSession object is returned. Player sessions cannot be updated.

Available in Amazon GameLift Local.

Player-session-related operations include:

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreatePlayerSessions

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreatePlayerSessionsOutput instance

Adds a group of players to a game session. This action is useful with a
team matching feature. Before players can be added, a game session must
have an C<ACTIVE> status, have a creation policy of C<ALLOW_ALL>, and
have an open player slot. To add a single player to a game session, use
CreatePlayerSession.

To create player sessions, specify a game session ID, a list of player IDs, and optionally a set of player data strings. If successful, the players are added to the game session and a set of new PlayerSession objects is returned. Player sessions cannot be updated.

CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization(GameLiftAwsAccountId => Str, PeerVpcId => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateVpcPeeringAuthorizationOutput instance

Requests authorization to create or delete a peer connection between
the VPC for your Amazon GameLift fleet and a virtual private cloud
(VPC) in your AWS account. VPC peering enables the game servers on your
fleet to communicate directly with other AWS resources. Once you've
received authorization, call CreateVpcPeeringConnection to establish
the peering connection. For more information, see VPC Peering with
Amazon GameLift Fleets.

You can peer with VPCs that are owned by any AWS account you have access to, including the account that you use to manage your Amazon GameLift fleets. You cannot peer with VPCs that are in different regions.

To request authorization to create a connection, call this operation from the AWS account with the VPC that you want to peer to your Amazon GameLift fleet. For example, to enable your game servers to retrieve data from a DynamoDB table, use the account that manages that DynamoDB resource. Identify the following values: (1) The ID of the VPC that you want to peer with, and (2) the ID of the AWS account that you use to manage Amazon GameLift. If successful, VPC peering is authorized for the specified VPC.

To request authorization to delete a connection, call this operation from the AWS account with the VPC that is peered with your Amazon GameLift fleet. Identify the following values: (1) VPC ID that you want to delete the peering connection for, and (2) ID of the AWS account that you use to manage Amazon GameLift.

The authorization remains valid for 24 hours unless it is canceled by a call to DeleteVpcPeeringAuthorization. You must create or delete the peering connection while the authorization is valid.

VPC peering connection operations include:

  • CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization

  • DescribeVpcPeeringAuthorizations

  • DeleteVpcPeeringAuthorization

  • CreateVpcPeeringConnection

  • DescribeVpcPeeringConnections

  • DeleteVpcPeeringConnection

CreateVpcPeeringConnection(FleetId => Str, PeerVpcAwsAccountId => Str, PeerVpcId => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::CreateVpcPeeringConnection

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::CreateVpcPeeringConnectionOutput instance

Establishes a VPC peering connection between a virtual private cloud
(VPC) in an AWS account with the VPC for your Amazon GameLift fleet.
VPC peering enables the game servers on your fleet to communicate
directly with other AWS resources. You can peer with VPCs in any AWS
account that you have access to, including the account that you use to
manage your Amazon GameLift fleets. You cannot peer with VPCs that are
in different regions. For more information, see VPC Peering with Amazon
GameLift Fleets.

Before calling this operation to establish the peering connection, you first need to call CreateVpcPeeringAuthorization and identify the VPC you want to peer with. Once the authorization for the specified VPC is issued, you have 24 hours to establish the connection. These two operations handle all tasks necessary to peer the two VPCs, including acceptance, updating routing tables, etc.

To establish the connection, call this operation from the AWS account that is used to manage the Amazon GameLift fleets. Identify the following values: (1) The ID of the fleet you want to be enable a VPC peering connection for; (2) The AWS account with the VPC that you want to peer with; and (3) The ID of the VPC you want to peer with. This operation is asynchronous. If successful, a VpcPeeringConnection request is created. You can use continuous polling to track the request's status using DescribeVpcPeeringConnections, or by monitoring fleet events for success or failure using DescribeFleetEvents.

A scaling policy rule statement has the following structure:

If [MetricName] is [ComparisonOperator] [Threshold] for [EvaluationPeriods] minutes, then [ScalingAdjustmentType] to/by [ScalingAdjustment].

For example, this policy: "If the number of idle instances exceeds 20 for more than 15 minutes, then reduce the fleet capacity by 10 instances" could be implemented as the following rule statement:

If [IdleInstances] is [GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold] [20] for [15] minutes, then [ChangeInCapacity] by [-10].

To create or update a scaling policy, specify a unique combination of name and fleet ID, and set the rule values. All parameters for this action are required. If successful, the policy name is returned. Scaling policies cannot be suspended or made inactive. To stop enforcing a scaling policy, call DeleteScalingPolicy.

SearchGameSessions([AliasId => Str, FilterExpression => Str, FleetId => Str, Limit => Int, NextToken => Str, SortExpression => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::SearchGameSessions

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::SearchGameSessionsOutput instance

Retrieves a set of game sessions that match a set of search criteria
and sorts them in a specified order. A game session search is limited
to a single fleet. Search results include only game sessions that are
in C<ACTIVE> status. If you need to retrieve game sessions with a
status other than active, use DescribeGameSessions. If you need to
retrieve the protection policy for each game session, use
DescribeGameSessionDetails.

You can search or sort by the following game session attributes:

  • gameSessionId -- Unique identifier for the game session. You can use either a GameSessionId or GameSessionArn value.

  • gameSessionName -- Name assigned to a game session. This value is set when requesting a new game session with CreateGameSession or updating with UpdateGameSession. Game session names do not need to be unique to a game session.

  • creationTimeMillis -- Value indicating when a game session was created. It is expressed in Unix time as milliseconds.

  • playerSessionCount -- Number of players currently connected to a game session. This value changes rapidly as players join the session or drop out.

  • maximumSessions -- Maximum number of player sessions allowed for a game session. This value is set when requesting a new game session with CreateGameSession or updating with UpdateGameSession.

  • hasAvailablePlayerSessions -- Boolean value indicating whether a game session has reached its maximum number of players. When searching with this attribute, the search value must be true or false. It is highly recommended that all search requests include this filter attribute to optimize search performance and return only sessions that players can join.

To search or sort, specify either a fleet ID or an alias ID, and provide a search filter expression, a sort expression, or both. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, a collection of GameSession objects matching the request is returned.

Returned values for playerSessionCount and hasAvailablePlayerSessions change quickly as players join sessions and others drop out. Results should be considered a snapshot in time. Be sure to refresh search results often, and handle sessions that fill up before a player can join.

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::StartGameSessionPlacement

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::StartGameSessionPlacementOutput instance

Places a request for a new game session in a queue (see
CreateGameSessionQueue). When processing a placement request, Amazon
GameLift searches for available resources on the queue's destinations,
scanning each until it finds resources or the placement request times
out.

A game session placement request can also request player sessions. When a new game session is successfully created, Amazon GameLift creates a player session for each player included in the request.

When placing a game session, by default Amazon GameLift tries each fleet in the order they are listed in the queue configuration. Ideally, a queue's destinations are listed in preference order.

Alternatively, when requesting a game session with players, you can also provide latency data for each player in relevant regions. Latency data indicates the performance lag a player experiences when connected to a fleet in the region. Amazon GameLift uses latency data to reorder the list of destinations to place the game session in a region with minimal lag. If latency data is provided for multiple players, Amazon GameLift calculates each region's average lag for all players and reorders to get the best game play across all players.

To place a new game session request, specify the following:

  • The queue name and a set of game session properties and settings

  • A unique ID (such as a UUID) for the placement. You use this ID to track the status of the placement request

  • (Optional) A set of IDs and player data for each player you want to join to the new game session

  • Latency data for all players (if you want to optimize game play for the players)

If successful, a new game session placement is created.

To track the status of a placement request, call DescribeGameSessionPlacement and check the request's status. If the status is FULFILLED, a new game session has been created and a game session ARN and region are referenced. If the placement request times out, you can resubmit the request or retry it with a different queue.

StartMatchmaking(ConfigurationName => Str, Players => ArrayRef[Paws::GameLift::Player], [TicketId => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::StartMatchmaking

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::StartMatchmakingOutput instance

Uses FlexMatch to create a game match for a group of players based on
custom matchmaking rules, and starts a new game for the matched
players. Each matchmaking request specifies the type of match to build
(team configuration, rules for an acceptable match, etc.). The request
also specifies the players to find a match for and where to host the
new game session for optimal performance. A matchmaking request might
start with a single player or a group of players who want to play
together. FlexMatch finds additional players as needed to fill the
match. Match type, rules, and the queue used to place a new game
session are defined in a C<MatchmakingConfiguration>. For complete
information on setting up and using FlexMatch, see the topic Adding
FlexMatch to Your Game.

To start matchmaking, provide a unique ticket ID, specify a matchmaking configuration, and include the players to be matched. You must also include a set of player attributes relevant for the matchmaking configuration. If successful, a matchmaking ticket is returned with status set to QUEUED. Track the status of the ticket to respond as needed and acquire game session connection information for successfully completed matches.

Tracking ticket status -- A couple of options are available for tracking the status of matchmaking requests:

  • Polling -- Call DescribeMatchmaking. This operation returns the full ticket object, including current status and (for completed tickets) game session connection info. We recommend polling no more than once every 10 seconds.

  • Notifications -- Get event notifications for changes in ticket status using Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). Notifications are easy to set up (see CreateMatchmakingConfiguration) and typically deliver match status changes faster and more efficiently than polling. We recommend that you use polling to back up to notifications (since delivery is not guaranteed) and call DescribeMatchmaking only when notifications are not received within 30 seconds.

Processing a matchmaking request -- FlexMatch handles a matchmaking request as follows:

  1. Your client code submits a StartMatchmaking request for one or more players and tracks the status of the request ticket.

  2. FlexMatch uses this ticket and others in process to build an acceptable match. When a potential match is identified, all tickets in the proposed match are advanced to the next status.

  3. If the match requires player acceptance (set in the matchmaking configuration), the tickets move into status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE. This status triggers your client code to solicit acceptance from all players in every ticket involved in the match, and then call AcceptMatch for each player. If any player rejects or fails to accept the match before a specified timeout, the proposed match is dropped (see AcceptMatch for more details).

  4. Once a match is proposed and accepted, the matchmaking tickets move into status PLACING. FlexMatch locates resources for a new game session using the game session queue (set in the matchmaking configuration) and creates the game session based on the match data.

  5. When the match is successfully placed, the matchmaking tickets move into COMPLETED status. Connection information (including game session endpoint and player session) is added to the matchmaking tickets. Matched players can use the connection information to join the game.

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::UpdateFleetCapacityOutput instance

Updates capacity settings for a fleet. Use this action to specify the
number of EC2 instances (hosts) that you want this fleet to contain.
Before calling this action, you may want to call
DescribeEC2InstanceLimits to get the maximum capacity based on the
fleet's EC2 instance type.

If you're using autoscaling (see PutScalingPolicy), you may want to specify a minimum and/or maximum capacity. If you don't provide these, autoscaling can set capacity anywhere between zero and the service limits.

To update fleet capacity, specify the fleet ID and the number of instances you want the fleet to host. If successful, Amazon GameLift starts or terminates instances so that the fleet's active instance count matches the desired instance count. You can view a fleet's current capacity information by calling DescribeFleetCapacity. If the desired instance count is higher than the instance type's limit, the "Limit Exceeded" exception occurs.

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::GameLift::UpdateRuntimeConfiguration

Returns: a Paws::GameLift::UpdateRuntimeConfigurationOutput instance

Updates the current run-time configuration for the specified fleet,
which tells Amazon GameLift how to launch server processes on instances
in the fleet. You can update a fleet's run-time configuration at any
time after the fleet is created; it does not need to be in an C<ACTIVE>
status.

To update run-time configuration, specify the fleet ID and provide a RuntimeConfiguration object with the updated collection of server process configurations.

Each instance in a Amazon GameLift fleet checks regularly for an updated run-time configuration and changes how it launches server processes to comply with the latest version. Existing server processes are not affected by the update; they continue to run until they end, while Amazon GameLift simply adds new server processes to fit the current run-time configuration. As a result, the run-time configuration changes are applied gradually as existing processes shut down and new processes are launched in Amazon GameLift's normal process recycling activity.
