public interface AmazonGameLift
Welcome to the Amazon GameLift API Reference. Amazon GameLift is a managed Amazon Web Services (AWS) service for developers who need a scalable, server-based solution for multiplayer games. Amazon GameLift provides setup and deployment of game servers, and handles infrastructure scaling and session management. For more information about the GameLift service, including a feature overview, getting started guide, and tutorial, see the accompanying Amazon GameLift Developer Guide.
This reference describes the low-level service API for GameLift. You can call this API directly or use the AWS SDK for your preferred language. The AWS SDK includes a set of high-level GameLift actions multiplayer game sessions. Alternatively, you can use the AWS command-line interface (CLI) tool, which includes commands for GameLift. For administrative actions, you can use the Amazon GameLift console.
Managing Game and Player Sessions Through GameLift
Call these actions from your game clients and/or services to create and manage multiplayer game sessions.
Setting Up Game Servers
Use these administrative actions to configure GameLift to host your game servers. When configuring GameLift, you'll need to (1) configure a build for your game and provide build files, and (2) set up one or more fleets to host game sessions.

(ex: "https://gamelift.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not
specified here, the default protocol from this client's
ClientConfiguration
will be used, which by default is HTTPS.
For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID= 3912
This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.
endpoint
- The endpoint (ex: "gamelift.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full
URL, including the protocol (ex:
"https://gamelift.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") of the region specific
AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.void setRegion(Region region)
setEndpoint(String)
, sets the
regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this
method to control which AWS region they want to work with.
By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol.
To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration
supplied at construction.
This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

CreateAliasResult createAlias(CreateAliasRequest createAliasRequest)
Creates an alias for a fleet. You can use an alias to anonymize your fleet by referencing an alias instead of a specific fleet when you create game sessions. Amazon GameLift supports two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. Use a simple alias to point to an active fleet. Use a terminal alias to display a message to incoming traffic instead of routing players to an active fleet. This option is useful when a game server is no longer supported but you want to provide better messaging than a standard 404 error.
To create a fleet alias, specify an alias name, routing strategy, and optional description. If successful, a new alias record is returned, including an alias ID, which you can reference when creating a game session. To reassign the alias to another fleet ID, call UpdateAlias.
createAliasRequest
- Represents the input for a request action.UnauthorizedException
- The client failed authentication. Such requests should not be
retried without valid authentication credentials.InvalidRequestException
- One or more parameters specified as part of the request are
invalid. Please correct the invalid parameters before retrying.ConflictException
- The requested operation would cause a conflict with the current
state of a service resource associated with the request. Please
resolve the conflict before retrying this request.InternalServiceException
- The service encountered an unrecoverable internal failure while
processing the request. Such requests can be retried by clients,
either immediately or after a back-off period.LimitExceededException
- The requested operation would cause the resource to exceed the
allowed service limit. Please resolve the issue before retrying.CreateBuildResult createBuild(CreateBuildRequest createBuildRequest)
Initializes a new build record and generates information required to upload a game build to Amazon GameLift. Once the build record has been created and is in an INITIALIZED state, you can upload your game build.
To create a build, use the CLI command upload-build
, which
creates a new build record and uploads the build files in one step. (See
the
Amazon GameLift Developer Guide for more details on the CLI and the
upload process.) Call the CreateBuild
action only if you
have your own Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) client and need
to manually upload your build files.
To create a new build, optionally specify a build name and version. This metadata is stored with other properties in the build record and is displayed in the GameLift console (but not visible to players). If successful, this action returns the newly created build record along with an Amazon S3 storage location and AWS account credentials. Use the location and credentials to upload your game build.

- The service encountered an unrecoverable internal failure while
processing the request. Such requests can be retried by clients,
either immediately or after a back-off period.CreateFleetResult createFleet(CreateFleetRequest createFleetRequest)
Creates a new fleet to host game servers. A fleet consists of a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances of a certain type, which defines the CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity of each host in the fleet. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for more information. Each instance in the fleet hosts a game server created from the specified game build. Once a fleet is in an ACTIVE state, it can begin hosting game sessions.
To create a new fleet, provide a name and the EC2 instance type for the new fleet, and specify the build and server launch path. Builds must be in a READY state before they can be used to build fleets. When configuring the new fleet, you can optionally (1) provide a set of launch parameters to be passed to a game server when activated; (2) limit incoming traffic to a specified range of IP addresses and port numbers; (3) set game session protection for all instances in the fleet, and (4) configure Amazon GameLift to store game session logs by specifying the path to the logs stored in your game server files. If the call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks:
Once a fleet is created, use the following actions to change certain fleet properties (server launch parameters and log paths cannot be changed):

Creates a multiplayer game session for players. This action creates a game session record and assigns the new session to an instance in the specified fleet, which activates the server initialization process in your game server. A fleet must be in an ACTIVE state before a game session can be created for it.
To create a game session, specify either a fleet ID or an alias ID and indicate the maximum number of players the game session allows. You can also provide a name and a set of properties for your game (optional). If successful, a GameSession object is returned containing session properties, including an IP address. By default, newly created game sessions are set to accept adding any new players to the game session. Use UpdateGameSession to change the creation policy.

Creates or updates a scaling policy for a fleet. An active scaling policy prompts GameLift to track a certain metric for a fleet and automatically change the fleet's capacity in specific circumstances. Each scaling policy contains one rule statement. Fleets can have multiple scaling policies in force simultaneously.
A scaling policy rule statement has the following structure:
If [MetricName] is [ComparisonOperator] [Threshold] for [EvaluationPeriods] minutes, then [ScalingAdjustmentType] to/by [ScalingAdjustment].
For example, this policy: "If the number of idle instances exceeds 20 for more than 15 minutes, then reduce the fleet capacity by 10 instances" could be implemented as the following rule statement:
If [IdleInstances] is [GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold] [20] for [15] minutes, then [ChangeInCapacity] by [-10].
To create or update a scaling policy, specify a unique combination of name and fleet ID, and set the rule values. All parameters for this action are required. If successful, the policy name is returned. Scaling policies cannot be suspended or made inactive. To stop enforcing a scaling policy, call DeleteScalingPolicy.

Retrieves a fresh set of upload credentials and the assigned Amazon S3 storage location for a specific build. Valid credentials are required to upload your game build files to Amazon S3.
Call this action only if you need credentials for a build created with
CreateBuild. This is a rare situation; in most cases, builds are
created using the CLI command upload-build
, which creates a
build record and also uploads build files.
Upload credentials are returned when you create the build, but they have a limited lifespan. You can get fresh credentials and use them to re-upload game files until the state of that build changes to READY. Once this happens, you must create a brand new build.

Updates capacity settings for a fleet. Use this action to specify the number of EC2 instances (hosts) 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.
If you're using auto-scaling (see PutScalingPolicy), you may want to specify a minimum and/or maximum capacity. If you don't provide these boundaries, auto-scaling can set capacity anywhere between zero and the service limits.
To update fleet capacity, specify the fleet ID and the desired number of instances. 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 will occur.
