update_container_group_definition#
- GameLift.Client.update_container_group_definition(**kwargs)#
Updates properties in an existing container group definition. This operation doesn’t replace the definition. Instead, it creates a new version of the definition and saves it separately. You can access all versions that you choose to retain.
The only property you can’t update is the container group type.
Request options:
Update based on the latest version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name only, or use an ARN value without a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the latest version.
Update based on a specific version of the container group definition. Specify the container group definition name and a source version number, or use an ARN value with a version number. Provide updated values for the properties that you want to change only. All other values remain the same as the source version.
Change a game server container definition. Provide the updated container definition.
Add or change a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, including the updated definition.
Remove a support container definition. Provide a complete set of container definitions, excluding the definition to remove. If the container group has only one support container definition, provide an empty set.
Results:
If successful, this operation returns the complete properties of the new container group definition version.
If the container group definition version is used in an active fleets, the update automatically initiates a new fleet deployment of the new version. You can track a fleet’s deployments using ListFleetDeployments.

A string that uniquely identifies the container definition within a container group.
DependsOn (list) –
Establishes dependencies between this container and the status of other containers in the same container group. A container can have dependencies on multiple different containers.
You can use dependencies to establish a startup/shutdown sequence across the container group. For example, you might specify that ContainerB has a

For example, ContainerA is configured with the following dependency: a
STARTdependency on ContainerB. This means that ContainerA can’t start until ContainerB has started.
