Syntax

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON


{
  "Type" : "AWS::GameLift::Build",
  "Properties" : {
      "Name" : String,
      "OperatingSystem" : String,
      "StorageLocation" : StorageLocation,
      "Version" : String
    }
}

Properties: 
  Name: String
  OperatingSystem: String
  StorageLocation: 
    StorageLocation
  Version: String

Properties

Name

A descriptive label that is associated with a build. Build names do not need to be unique.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 1024

Update requires: No interruption

OperatingSystem

The operating system that you built the game server binaries to run on. This value determines the type of fleet resources that you can use for this build. If your game build contains multiple executables, they all must run on the same operating system. If an operating system is not specified when creating a build, GameLift uses the default value (WINDOWS_2012). This value cannot be changed later.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: AMAZON_LINUX | AMAZON_LINUX_2 | WINDOWS_2012

Update requires: Replacement

StorageLocation

Information indicating where your game build files are stored. Use this parameter only when creating a build with files stored in an Amazon S3 bucket that you own. The storage location must specify an Amazon S3 bucket name and key. The location must also specify a role ARN that you set up to allow Amazon GameLift to access your Amazon S3 bucket. The S3 bucket and your new build must be in the same Region.

If a StorageLocation is specified, the size of your file can be found in your Amazon S3 bucket. Amazon GameLift will report a SizeOnDisk of 0.

Required: No

Type: StorageLocation

Update requires: Replacement

Version

Version information that is associated with this build. Version strings do not need to be unique.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 1024

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the build ID, such as build-1111aaaa-22bb-33cc-44dd-5555eeee66ff.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

BuildId: Property description not available.

Examples

Create a Custom Game Server Build

The following example creates a GameLift build named MyGameServerBuild. The build package is located in an S3 bucket, specified by the S3Bucket and S3Key input parameters. The example also creates the Amazon Identity and Access Management role that GameLift assumes so that it has permissions to download the build package files.
