        • FAILED – The game build upload failed. You cannot create new fleets for this build.

      • OperatingSystem (string) –

        Operating system that the game server binaries are built to run on. This value determines the type of fleet resources that you can use for this build.

      • CreationTime (datetime) –

        A time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").
