GameLift / Client / create_fleet_locations

create_fleet_locations

GameLift.Client.create_fleet_locations(**kwargs)

Adds remote locations to a fleet and begins populating the new locations with EC2 instances. The new instances conform to the fleet’s instance type, auto-scaling, and other configuration settings.

Note

This operation cannot be used with fleets that don’t support remote locations. Fleets can have multiple locations only if they reside in Amazon Web Services Regions that support this feature and were created after the feature was released in March 2021.

To add fleet locations, specify the fleet to be updated and provide a list of one or more locations.

If successful, this operation returns the list of added locations with their status set to NEW. GameLift initiates the process of starting an instance in each added location. You can track the status of each new location by monitoring location creation events using DescribeFleetEvents.

}

Response Structure

• (dict) –

  • FleetId (string) –

    A unique identifier for the fleet that was updated with new locations.

  • FleetArn (string) –

    The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN) that is assigned to a GameLift fleet resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::fleet/fleet-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912.

  • LocationStates (list) –

    The remote locations that are being added to the fleet, and the life-cycle status of each location. For new locations, the status is set to NEW. During location creation, GameLift updates each location’s status as instances are deployed there and prepared for game hosting. This list does not include the fleet home Region or any remote locations that were already added to the fleet.

    • (dict) –

      A fleet location and its life-cycle state. A location state object might be used to describe a fleet’s remote location or home Region. Life-cycle state tracks the progress of launching the first instance in a new location and preparing it for game hosting, and then removing all instances and deleting the location from the fleet.

      • NEW – A new fleet location has been defined and desired instances is set to 1.

      • DOWNLOADING/VALIDATING/BUILDING/ACTIVATING – GameLift is setting up the new fleet location, creating new instances with the game build or Realtime script and starting server processes.

      • ACTIVE – Hosts can now accept game sessions.

      • ERROR – An error occurred when downloading, validating, building, or activating the fleet location.

      • DELETING – Hosts are responding to a delete fleet location request.

      • TERMINATED – The fleet location no longer exists.

      • NOT_FOUND – The fleet location was not found. This could be because the custom location was removed or not created.

      • Location (string) –

        The fleet location, expressed as an Amazon Web Services Region code such as us-west-2.

      • Status (string) –

        The life-cycle status of a fleet location.
