ContainerDependency - Amazon GameLift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

ContainerDependency

This data type is used with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview.

A container's dependency on another container in the same container group. The dependency impacts how the dependent container is able to start or shut down based the status of the other container.

For example, ContainerA is configured with the following dependency: a START dependency on ContainerB. This means that ContainerA can't start until ContainerB has started. It also means that ContainerA must shut down before ContainerB.
