    • Build (dict) –

      Set of properties describing the requested build.

      • BuildId (string) –

        A unique identifier for the build.

      • BuildArn (string) –

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

        Possible build statuses include the following:

        • INITIALIZED – A new build has been defined, but no files have been uploaded. You cannot create fleets for builds that are in this status. When a build is successfully created, the build status is set to this value.

        • READY – The game build has been successfully uploaded. You can now create new fleets for this build.

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

      • SizeOnDisk (integer) –

        File size of the uploaded game build, expressed in bytes. When the build status is INITIALIZED or when using a custom Amazon S3 storage location, this value is 0.

      • 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").
