A low-level client representing Amazon GameLift:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('gamelift')
These are the available methods:
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 one or more players rejected the match, the ticket status is returned to SEARCHING to find a new match. For tickets where one or more players failed to respond, the ticket status is set to CANCELLED , and processing is terminated. A new matchmaking request for these players can be submitted as needed.

This action is part of Amazon GameLift FleetIQ with game server groups, which is in preview release and is subject to change.
Locates an available game server and temporarily reserves it to host gameplay and players. This action is called by a game client or client service (such as a matchmaker) to request hosting resources for a new game session. In response, GameLift FleetIQ searches for an available game server in the specified game server group, places the game server in "claimed" status for 60 seconds, and returns connection information back to the requester so that players can connect to the game server.
There are two ways you can claim a game server. For the first option, you provide a game server group ID only, which prompts GameLift FleetIQ to search for an available game server in the specified group and claim it. With this option, GameLift FleetIQ attempts to consolidate gameplay on as few instances as possible to minimize hosting costs. For the second option, you request a specific game server by its ID. This option results in a less efficient claiming process because it does not take advantage of consolidation and may fail if the requested game server is unavailable.
To claim a game server, identify a game server group and (optionally) a game server ID. If your game requires that game data be provided to the game server at the start of a game, such as a game map or player information, you can provide it in your claim request.
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 allows the game server to be prompted to update its status to UTILIZED (using UpdateGameServer ). 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.
If you try to claim a specific game server, this request will fail in the following cases: (1) if the game server utilization status is UTILIZED, (2) if the game server claim status is CLAIMED, or (3) if the instance that the game server is running on is flagged as draining.

Request Syntax
response = client.claim_game_server(
GameServerGroupName='string',
GameServerId='string',
GameServerData='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
An identifier for the game server group. When claiming a specific game server, this is the game server group whether the game server is located. When requesting that GameLift FleetIQ locate an available game server, this is the game server group to search on. You can use either the GameServerGroup name or ARN value.

Time stamp indicating the last time the game server was updated with health status using an UpdateGameServer request. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057"). After game server registration, this property is only changed when a game server update specifies a health check value.
Exceptions
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 .

Creates a new Amazon GameLift build resource for your game server binary files. Game server binaries must be combined into a zip file for use with Amazon GameLift.
Warning
When setting up a new game build for GameLift, we recommend using the AWS CLI command ** upload-build ** . This helper command combines two tasks: (1) it uploads your build files from a file directory to a GameLift Amazon S3 location, and (2) it creates a new build resource.
The CreateBuild operation can used in the following scenarios:
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.

Creates a new fleet to run your game servers. whether they are custom game builds or Realtime Servers with game-specific script. A fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, each of which can host multiple game sessions. When creating a fleet, you choose the hardware specifications, set some configuration options, and specify the game server to deploy on the new fleet.
To create a new fleet, provide the following: (1) a fleet name, (2) an EC2 instance type and fleet type (spot or on-demand), (3) the build ID for your game build or script ID if using Realtime Servers, and (4) a runtime configuration, which determines how game servers will run on each instance in the fleet.
If the CreateFleet call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks. You can track the process of a fleet by checking the fleet status or by monitoring fleet creation events:

[REQUIRED]
A descriptive label that is associated with a fleet. Fleet names do not need to be unique.
This parameter is no longer used. Instead, to specify where Amazon GameLift should store log files once a server process shuts down, use the Amazon GameLift server API ProcessReady() and specify one or more directory paths in logParameters . See more information in the Server API Reference .
[REQUIRED]
The name of an EC2 instance type that is supported in Amazon GameLift. A fleet instance type determines the computing resources of each instance in the fleet, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. Amazon GameLift supports the following EC2 instance types. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for detailed descriptions.
Range of IP addresses and port settings that permit inbound traffic to access game sessions that are running on the fleet. For fleets using a custom game build, this parameter is required before game sessions running on the fleet can accept connections. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically sets TCP and UDP ranges for use by the Realtime servers. You can specify multiple permission settings or add more by updating the fleet.
A range of IP addresses and port settings that allow inbound traffic to connect to server processes on an Amazon GameLift hosting resource. New game sessions that are started on the fleet are assigned an IP address/port number combination, which must fall into the fleet's allowed ranges. For fleets created with a custom game server, the ranges reflect the server's game session assignments. For Realtime Servers fleets, Amazon GameLift automatically opens two port ranges, one for TCP messaging and one for UDP for use by the Realtime servers.
A starting value for a range of allowed port numbers.
An ending value for a range of allowed port numbers. Port numbers are end-inclusive. This value must be higher than FromPort .
A range of allowed IP addresses. This value must be expressed in CIDR notation. Example: "000.000.000.000/[subnet mask] " or optionally the shortened version "0.0.0.0/[subnet mask] ".
The network communication protocol used by the fleet.
A game session protection policy to apply to all instances in this fleet. If this parameter is not set, instances in this fleet default to no protection. You can change a fleet's protection policy using UpdateFleetAttributes , but this change will only affect sessions created after the policy change. You can also set protection for individual instances using UpdateGameSession .
Instructions for launching server processes on each instance in the fleet. Server processes run either a custom game build executable or a Realtime script. The runtime configuration defines the server executables or launch script file, launch parameters, and the number of processes to run concurrently on each instance. When creating a fleet, the runtime configuration must have at least one server process configuration; otherwise the request fails with an invalid request exception. (This parameter replaces the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters , although requests that contain values for these parameters instead of a runtime configuration will continue to work.) This parameter is required unless the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters are defined. Runtime configuration replaced these parameters, but fleets that use them will continue to work.
A collection of server process configurations that describe which server processes to run on each instance in a fleet.
A set of instructions for launching server processes on each instance in a fleet. Server processes run either a custom game build executable or a Realtime Servers script. Each instruction set identifies the location of the custom game build executable or Realtime launch script, optional launch parameters, and the number of server processes with this configuration to maintain concurrently on the instance. Server process configurations make up a fleet's `` RuntimeConfiguration `` .
The location of the server executable in a custom game build or the name of the Realtime script file that contains the Init() function. Game builds and Realtime scripts are installed on instances at the root:
An optional list of parameters to pass to the server executable or Realtime script on launch.
The number of server processes that use this configuration to run concurrently on an instance.
The maximum number of game sessions with status ACTIVATING to allow on an instance simultaneously. This setting limits the amount of instance resources that can be used for new game activations at any one time.
The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a game session can remain in status ACTIVATING . If the game session is not active before the timeout, activation is terminated and the game session status is changed to TERMINATED .
A policy that limits the number of game sessions an individual player can create over a span of time for this fleet.
The maximum number of game sessions that an individual can create during the policy period.
The time span used in evaluating the resource creation limit policy.
The name of an Amazon CloudWatch metric group to add this fleet to. A metric group aggregates the metrics for all fleets in the group. Specify an existing metric group name, or provide a new name to create a new metric group. A fleet can only be included in one metric group at a time.
Indicates whether to generate a TLS/SSL certificate for the new fleet. TLS certificates are used for encrypting traffic between game clients and game servers running on GameLift. If this parameter is not specified, the default value, DISABLED, is used. This fleet setting cannot be changed once the fleet is created. Learn more at Securing Client/Server Communication .
Note: This feature requires the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) service, which is available in the AWS global partition but not in all other partitions. When working in a partition that does not support this feature, a request for a new fleet with certificate generation results fails with a 4xx unsupported Region error.
Valid values include:
Indicates whether a TLS/SSL certificate was generated for a fleet.
A list of labels to assign to the new fleet resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging AWS resources are useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging AWS Resources in the AWS General Reference . Once the resource is created, you can use TagResource , UntagResource , and ListTagsForResource to add, remove, and view tags. The maximum tag limit may be lower than stated. See the AWS General Reference for actual tagging limits.

This action is part of Amazon GameLift FleetIQ with game server groups, which is in preview release and is subject to change.
Creates a GameLift FleetIQ game server group to manage a collection of EC2 instances for game hosting. In addition to creating the game server group, this action also creates an Auto Scaling group in your AWS account and establishes a link between the two groups. You have full control over configuration of the Auto Scaling group, but GameLift FleetIQ routinely certain Auto Scaling group properties in order to optimize the group's instances for low-cost game hosting. You can view the status of your game server groups in the GameLift Console. Game server group metrics and events are emitted to Amazon CloudWatch.
Prior creating a new game server group, you must set up the following:
To create a new game server group, provide a name and specify the IAM role and EC2 launch template. You also need to provide a list of instance types to be used in the group and set initial maximum and minimum limits on the group's instance count. You can optionally set an autoscaling policy with target tracking based on a 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. Keep in mind, however, that some properties are periodically updated by GameLift FleetIQ as it balances the group's instances based on availability and cost.

[REQUIRED]
An identifier for the new game server group. This value is used to generate unique ARN identifiers for the EC2 Auto Scaling group and the GameLift FleetIQ game server group. The name must be unique per Region per AWS account.
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) for an IAM role that allows Amazon GameLift to access your EC2 Auto Scaling groups. The submitted role is validated to ensure that it contains the necessary permissions for game server groups.
[REQUIRED]
The minimum number of instances allowed in the EC2 Auto Scaling group. During autoscaling events, GameLift FleetIQ and EC2 do not scale down the group below this minimum. In production, this value should be set to at least 1.
[REQUIRED]
The maximum number of instances allowed in the EC2 Auto Scaling group. During autoscaling events, GameLift FleetIQ and EC2 do not scale up the group above this maximum.
[REQUIRED]
The EC2 launch template that contains configuration settings and game server code to be deployed to all instances in the game server group. You can specify the template using either the template name or ID. For help with creating a launch template, see Creating a Launch Template for an Auto Scaling Group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
A unique identifier for an existing EC2 launch template.
A readable identifier for an existing EC2 launch template.
The version of the EC2 launch template to use. If no version is specified, the default version will be used. EC2 allows you to specify a default version for a launch template, if none is set, the default is the first version created.
[REQUIRED]
A set of EC2 instance types to use when creating instances in the group. The instance definitions must specify at least two different instance types that are supported by GameLift FleetIQ. For more information on instance types, see EC2 Instance Types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .
This data type is part of Amazon GameLift FleetIQ with game server groups, which is in preview release and is subject to change.
An allowed instance type for your game server group. GameLift FleetIQ periodically evaluates each defined instance type for viability. It then updates the Auto Scaling group with the list of viable instance types.
An EC2 instance type designation.
Instance weighting that indicates how much this instance type contributes to the total capacity of a game server group. Instance weights are used by GameLift FleetIQ to calculate the instance type's cost per unit hour and better identify the most cost-effective options. For detailed information on weighting instance capacity, see Instance Weighting in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide . Default value is "1".
Configuration settings to define a scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group that is optimized for game hosting. The scaling policy uses the metric "PercentUtilizedGameServers" to maintain a buffer of idle game servers that can immediately accommodate new games and players. Once the game server and Auto Scaling groups are created, you can update the scaling policy settings directly in Auto Scaling Groups.
Length of time, in seconds, it takes for a new instance to start new game server processes and register with GameLift FleetIQ. Specifying a warm-up time can be useful, particularly with game servers that take a long time to start up, because it avoids prematurely starting new instances
Settings for a target-based scaling policy applied to Auto Scaling group. These settings are used to create a target-based policy that tracks the GameLift FleetIQ metric "PercentUtilizedGameServers" and specifies a target value for the metric. As player usage changes, the policy triggers to adjust the game server group capacity so that the metric returns to the target value.
Desired value to use with a game server group target-based scaling policy.
The fallback balancing method to use for the game server group when Spot instances in a Region become unavailable or are not viable for game hosting. Once triggered, this method remains active until Spot instances can once again be used. Method options include:
A list of virtual private cloud (VPC) subnets to use with instances in the game server group. By default, all GameLift FleetIQ-supported availability zones are used; this parameter allows you to specify VPCs that you've set up.
A list of labels to assign to the new game server group resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging AWS resources are useful for resource management, access management, and cost allocation. For more information, see Tagging AWS Resources in the AWS General Reference . Once the resource is created, you can use TagResource , UntagResource , and ListTagsForResource to add, remove, and view tags. The maximum tag limit may be lower than stated. See the AWS General Reference for actual tagging limits.

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 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.

Exceptions
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.

A descriptive label that is associated with game session queue. Queue names must be unique within each Region.
A collection of latency policies to apply when processing game sessions placement requests with player latency information. Multiple policies are evaluated in order of the maximum latency value, starting with the lowest latency values. With just one policy, the policy is enforced at the start of the game session placement for the duration period. With multiple policies, each policy is enforced consecutively for its duration period. For example, a queue might enforce a 60-second policy followed by a 120-second policy, and then no policy for the remainder of the placement. A player latency policy must set a value for MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds . If none is set, this API request fails.
Queue setting that determines the highest latency allowed for individual players when placing a game session. When a latency policy is in force, a game session cannot be placed with any fleet in a Region where a player reports latency higher than the cap. Latency policies are only enforced when the placement request contains player latency information.
The maximum latency value that is allowed for any player, in milliseconds. All policies must have a value set for this property.
The length of time, in seconds, that the policy is enforced while placing a new game session. A null value for this property means that the policy is enforced until the queue times out.

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 ticket ( StartMatchmaking or StartMatchBackfill ) 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.
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. Since notifications promise only "best effort" delivery, we recommend calling DescribeMatchmaking if no notifications are received within 30 seconds.

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:
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.

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.

This action is part of Amazon GameLift FleetIQ with game server groups, which is in preview release and is subject to change.
Terminates a game server group and permanently deletes the game server group record. You have several options for how these resources are impacted when deleting the game server group. Depending on the type of delete action selected, this action may affect three types of resources: the game server group, the corresponding Auto Scaling group, and all game servers currently running in the group.
To delete a game server group, identify the game server group to delete and specify the type of delete action to initiate. Game server groups can only be deleted if they are in ACTIVE or ERROR status.
If the delete request is successful, a series of actions are kicked off. The game server group status is changed to DELETE_SCHEDULED, which prevents new game servers from being registered and stops autoscaling activity. Once all game servers in the game server group are de-registered, GameLift FleetIQ can begin deleting resources. If any of the delete actions fail, the game server group is placed in ERROR status.
GameLift FleetIQ emits delete events to Amazon CloudWatch.

The length of time, in seconds, that the policy is enforced while placing a new game session. A null value for this property means that the policy is enforced until the queue times out.
Destinations (list) --
A list of fleets that can be used to fulfill game session placement requests in the queue. Fleets are identified by either a fleet ARN or a fleet alias ARN. Destinations are listed in default preference order.
(dict) --
Fleet designated in a game session queue. Requests for new game sessions in the queue are fulfilled by starting a new game session on any destination that is configured for a queue.
DestinationArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is assigned to fleet or fleet alias. ARNs, which include a fleet ID or alias ID and a Region name, provide a unique identifier across all Regions.
NextToken (string) --
A token that indicates where to resume retrieving results on the next call to this action. If no token is returned, these results represent the end of the list.
Exceptions
Retrieves a set of one or more game sessions. Request a specific game session or request all game sessions on a fleet. Alternatively, use SearchGameSessions to request a set of active game sessions that are filtered by certain criteria. To retrieve protection policy settings for game sessions, use DescribeGameSessionDetails .
To get game sessions, specify one of the following: game session ID, fleet ID, or alias ID. You can filter this request by game session status. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, a GameSession object is returned for each game session matching the request.

A set of instructions for launching server processes on each instance in a fleet. Server processes run either a custom game build executable or a Realtime Servers script. Each instruction set identifies the location of the custom game build executable or Realtime launch script, optional launch parameters, and the number of server processes with this configuration to maintain concurrently on the instance. Server process configurations make up a fleet's `` RuntimeConfiguration `` .
The location of the server executable in a custom game build or the name of the Realtime script file that contains the Init() function. Game builds and Realtime scripts are installed on instances at the root:
An optional list of parameters to pass to the server executable or Realtime script on launch.
The number of server processes that use this configuration to run concurrently on an instance.
The maximum number of game sessions with status ACTIVATING to allow on an instance simultaneously. This setting limits the amount of instance resources that can be used for new game activations at any one time.
The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a game session can remain in status ACTIVATING . If the game session is not active before the timeout, activation is terminated and the game session status is changed to TERMINATED .

Retrieves all scaling policies applied to a fleet.
To get a fleet's scaling policies, specify the fleet ID. You can filter this request by policy status, such as to retrieve only active scaling policies. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, set of ScalingPolicy objects is returned for the fleet.
A fleet may have all of its scaling policies suspended ( StopFleetActions ). This action does not affect the status of the scaling policies, which remains ACTIVE. To see whether a fleet's scaling policies are in force or suspended, call DescribeFleetAttributes and check the stopped actions.

Creates or updates a scaling policy for a fleet. Scaling policies are used to automatically scale a fleet's hosting capacity to meet player demand. An active scaling policy instructs Amazon GameLift to track a fleet metric and automatically change the fleet's capacity when a certain threshold is reached. There are two types of scaling policies: target-based and rule-based. Use a target-based policy to quickly and efficiently manage fleet scaling; this option is the most commonly used. Use rule-based policies when you need to exert fine-grained control over auto-scaling.
Fleets can have multiple scaling policies of each type in force at the same time; you can have one target-based policy, one or multiple rule-based scaling policies, or both. We recommend caution, however, because multiple auto-scaling policies can have unintended consequences.
You can temporarily suspend all scaling policies for a fleet by calling StopFleetActions with the fleet action AUTO_SCALING. To resume scaling policies, call StartFleetActions with the same fleet action. To stop just one scaling policy--or to permanently remove it, you must delete the policy with DeleteScalingPolicy .
Learn more about how to work with auto-scaling in Set Up Fleet Automatic Scaling .
Target-based policy
A target-based policy tracks a single metric: PercentAvailableGameSessions. This metric tells us how much of a fleet's hosting capacity is ready to host game sessions but is not currently in use. This is the fleet's buffer; it measures the additional player demand that the fleet could handle at current capacity. With a target-based policy, you set your ideal buffer size and leave it to Amazon GameLift to take whatever action is needed to maintain that target.
For example, you might choose to maintain a 10% buffer for a fleet that has the capacity to host 100 simultaneous game sessions. This policy tells Amazon GameLift to take action whenever the fleet's available capacity falls below or rises above 10 game sessions. Amazon GameLift will start new instances or stop unused instances in order to return to the 10% buffer.
To create or update a target-based policy, specify a fleet ID and name, and set the policy type to "TargetBased". Specify the metric to track (PercentAvailableGameSessions) and reference a TargetConfiguration object with your desired buffer value. Exclude all other parameters. On a successful request, the policy name is returned. The scaling policy is automatically in force as soon as it's successfully created. If the fleet's auto-scaling actions are temporarily suspended, the new policy will be in force once the fleet actions are restarted.
Rule-based policy
A rule-based policy tracks specified fleet metric, sets a threshold value, and specifies the type of action to initiate when triggered. With a rule-based policy, you can select from several available fleet metrics. Each policy specifies whether to scale up or scale down (and by how much), so you need one policy for each type of action.
For example, a policy may make the following statement: "If the percentage of idle instances is greater than 20% for more than 15 minutes, then reduce the fleet capacity by 10%."
A policy's rule statement has the following structure:
If [MetricName] is [ComparisonOperator] [Threshold] for [EvaluationPeriods] minutes, then [ScalingAdjustmentType] to/by [ScalingAdjustment] .
To implement the example, the rule statement would look like this:
If [PercentIdleInstances] is [GreaterThanThreshold] [20] for [15] minutes, then [PercentChangeInCapacity] to/by [10] .
To create or update a scaling policy, specify a unique combination of name and fleet ID, and set the policy type to "RuleBased". Specify the parameter values for a policy rule statement. On a successful request, the policy name is returned. Scaling policies are automatically in force as soon as they're successfully created. If the fleet's auto-scaling actions are temporarily suspended, the new policy will be in force once the fleet actions are restarted.

This action is part of Amazon GameLift FleetIQ with game server groups, which is in preview release and is subject to change.
Creates a new game server resource and notifies GameLift FleetIQ that the game server is ready to host gameplay and players. This action is called by a game server process that is running on an instance in a game server group. Registering game servers enables GameLift FleetIQ to track available game servers and enables game clients and services to claim a game server for a new game session.
To register a game server, identify the game server group and instance where the game server is running, and provide a unique identifier for the game server. You can also include connection and game server data; when a game client or service requests a game server by calling ClaimGameServer , this information is returned in response.
Once a game server is successfully registered, it is put in status AVAILABLE. A request to register a game server may fail if the instance it is in the process of shutting down as part of instance rebalancing or scale-down activity.

Retrieves all active game sessions that match a set of search criteria and sorts them in a specified order. You can search or sort by the following game session attributes:
Note
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.
To search or sort, specify either a fleet ID or an alias ID, and provide a search filter expression, a sort expression, or both. If successful, a collection of GameSession objects matching the request is returned. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.
You can search for game sessions one fleet at a time only. To find game sessions across multiple fleets, you must search each fleet separately and combine the results. This search feature finds only game sessions that are in ACTIVE status. To locate games in statuses other than active, use DescribeGameSessionDetails .

String containing the search criteria for the session search. If no filter expression is included, the request returns results for all game sessions in the fleet that are in ACTIVE status.
A filter expression can contain one or multiple conditions. Each condition consists of the following:
To chain multiple conditions in a single expression, use the logical keywords AND , OR , and NOT and parentheses as needed. For example: x AND y AND NOT z , NOT (x OR y) .
Session search evaluates conditions from left to right using the following precedence rules:
For example, this filter expression retrieves game sessions hosting at least ten players that have an open player slot: "maximumSessions>=10 AND hasAvailablePlayerSessions=true" .
Instructions on how to sort the search results. If no sort expression is included, the request returns results in random order. A sort expression consists of the following elements:
For example, this sort expression returns the oldest active sessions first: "SortExpression": "creationTimeMillis ASC" . Results with a null value for the sort operand are returned at the end of the list.

When auto-scaling fleet actions are restarted, Amazon GameLift once again initiates scaling events as triggered by the fleet's scaling policies. If actions on the fleet were never stopped, this operation will have no effect. You can view a fleet's stopped actions using DescribeFleetAttributes .

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:
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.

Exceptions
Finds new players to fill open slots in an existing game session. This operation can be used to add players to matched games that start with fewer than the maximum number of players or to replace players when they drop out. By backfilling with the same matchmaker used to create the original match, you ensure that new players meet the match criteria and maintain a consistent experience throughout the game session. You can backfill a match anytime after a game session has been created.
To request a match backfill, specify a unique ticket ID, the existing game session's ARN, a matchmaking configuration, and a set of data that describes all current players in the game session. If successful, a match backfill ticket is created and returned with status set to QUEUED. The ticket is placed in the matchmaker's ticket pool and processed. Track the status of the ticket to respond as needed.
The process of finding backfill matches is essentially identical to the initial matchmaking process. The matchmaker searches the pool and groups tickets together to form potential matches, allowing only one backfill ticket per potential match. Once the a match is formed, the matchmaker creates player sessions for the new players. All tickets in the match are updated with the game session's connection information, and the GameSession object is updated to include matchmaker data on the new players. For more detail on how match backfill requests are processed, see How Amazon GameLift FlexMatch Works .

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 MatchmakingConfiguration .
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.

Suspends activity on a fleet. Currently, this operation is used to stop a fleet's auto-scaling activity. It is used to temporarily stop triggering scaling events. The policies can be retained and auto-scaling activity can be restarted using StartFleetActions . You can view a fleet's stopped actions using DescribeFleetAttributes .
To stop fleet actions, specify the fleet ID and the type of actions to suspend. When auto-scaling fleet actions are stopped, Amazon GameLift no longer initiates scaling events except in response to manual changes using UpdateFleetCapacity .

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.
Specify minimum and maximum number of instances. Amazon GameLift will not change fleet capacity to values fall outside of this range. This is particularly important when using auto-scaling (see PutScalingPolicy ) to allow capacity to adjust based on player demand while imposing limits on automatic adjustments.
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.

Updates information about a registered game server. This action is called by a game server process that is running on an instance in a game server group. There are three reasons to update game server information: (1) to change the utilization status of the game server, (2) to report game server health status, and (3) to change game server metadata. A registered game server should regularly report health and should update utilization status when it is supporting gameplay so that GameLift FleetIQ can accurately track game server availability. You can make all three types of updates in the same request.
Once a game server is successfully updated, the relevant statuses and timestamps are updated.

For example, a queue might enforce a 60-second policy followed by a 120-second policy, and then no policy for the remainder of the placement.
(dict) --
Queue setting that determines the highest latency allowed for individual players when placing a game session. When a latency policy is in force, a game session cannot be placed with any fleet in a Region where a player reports latency higher than the cap. Latency policies are only enforced when the placement request contains player latency information.
MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds (integer) --
The maximum latency value that is allowed for any player, in milliseconds. All policies must have a value set for this property.
PolicyDurationSeconds (integer) --
The length of time, in seconds, that the policy is enforced while placing a new game session. A null value for this property means that the policy is enforced until the queue times out.
Destinations (list) --
A list of fleets that can be used to fulfill game session placement requests in the queue. Fleets are identified by either a fleet ARN or a fleet alias ARN. Destinations are listed in default preference order.
(dict) --
Fleet designated in a game session queue. Requests for new game sessions in the queue are fulfilled by starting a new game session on any destination that is configured for a queue.
DestinationArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is assigned to fleet or fleet alias. ARNs, which include a fleet ID or alias ID and a Region name, provide a unique identifier across all Regions.

String containing the search criteria for the session search. If no filter expression is included, the request returns results for all game sessions in the fleet that are in ACTIVE status.
A filter expression can contain one or multiple conditions. Each condition consists of the following:
To chain multiple conditions in a single expression, use the logical keywords AND , OR , and NOT and parentheses as needed. For example: x AND y AND NOT z , NOT (x OR y) .
Session search evaluates conditions from left to right using the following precedence rules:
For example, this filter expression retrieves game sessions hosting at least ten players that have an open player slot: "maximumSessions>=10 AND hasAvailablePlayerSessions=true" .
Instructions on how to sort the search results. If no sort expression is included, the request returns results in random order. A sort expression consists of the following elements:
For example, this sort expression returns the oldest active sessions first: "SortExpression": "creationTimeMillis ASC" . Results with a null value for the sort operand are returned at the end of the list.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Represents the returned data in response to a request action.
GameSessions (list) --
A collection of objects containing game session properties for each session matching the request.
(dict) --
Properties describing a game session.
A game session in ACTIVE status can host players. When a game session ends, its status is set to TERMINATED .
Once the session ends, the game session object is retained for 30 days. This means you can reuse idempotency token values after this time. Game session logs are retained for 14 days.
GameSessionId (string) --
A unique identifier for the game session. A game session ARN has the following format: arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::gamesession/<fleet ID>/<custom ID string or idempotency token> .
Name (string) --
A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.
FleetId (string) --
A unique identifier for a fleet that the game session is running on.
FleetArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) associated with the GameLift fleet that this game session is running on.
CreationTime (datetime) --
Time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").
TerminationTime (datetime) --
Time stamp indicating when this data object was terminated. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").
CurrentPlayerSessionCount (integer) --
Number of players currently in the game session.
MaximumPlayerSessionCount (integer) --
The maximum number of players that can be connected simultaneously to the game session.
Status (string) --
Current status of the game session. A game session must have an ACTIVE status to have player sessions.
StatusReason (string) --
Provides additional information about game session status. INTERRUPTED indicates that the game session was hosted on a spot instance that was reclaimed, causing the active game session to be terminated.
GameProperties (list) --
Set of custom properties for a game session, formatted as key:value pairs. These properties are passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ). You can search for active game sessions based on this custom data with SearchGameSessions .
(dict) --
Set of key-value pairs that contain information about a game session. When included in a game session request, these properties communicate details to be used when setting up the new game session. For example, a game property might specify a game mode, level, or map. Game properties are passed to the game server process when initiating a new game session. For more information, see the Amazon GameLift Developer Guide .
Key (string) --
The game property identifier.
Value (string) --
The game property value.
IpAddress (string) --
IP address of the instance that is running the game session. When connecting to a Amazon GameLift game server, a client needs to reference an IP address (or DNS name) and port number.
DnsName (string) --
DNS identifier assigned to the instance that is running the game session. Values have the following format:
When connecting to a game session that is running on a TLS-enabled fleet, you must use the DNS name, not the IP address.
Port (integer) --
Port number for the game session. To connect to a Amazon GameLift game server, an app needs both the IP address and port number.
PlayerSessionCreationPolicy (string) --
Indicates whether or not the game session is accepting new players.
CreatorId (string) --
A unique identifier for a player. This ID is used to enforce a resource protection policy (if one exists), that limits the number of game sessions a player can create.
GameSessionData (string) --
Set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ).
MatchmakerData (string) --
Information about the matchmaking process that was used to create the game session. It is in JSON syntax, formatted as a string. In addition the matchmaking configuration used, it contains data on all players assigned to the match, including player attributes and team assignments. For more details on matchmaker data, see Match Data . Matchmaker data is useful when requesting match backfills, and is updated whenever new players are added during a successful backfill (see StartMatchBackfill ).
