Compute - 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).

Compute

An Amazon GameLift compute resource for hosting your game servers. A compute can be an EC2instance in a managed EC2 fleet or a registered compute in an Anywhere fleet.

Contents

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

ComputeArn

The ARN that is assigned to a compute resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across locations. Instances in managed EC2 fleets are not assigned a ComputeARN.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^arn:.*:compute\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+

Required: No

ComputeName

A descriptive label for the compute resource. For instances in a managed EC2 fleet, the compute name is an instance ID.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+

Required: No

ComputeStatus

Current status of the compute. A compute must have an ACTIVE status to host game sessions.

Type: String

Valid Values: PENDING | ACTIVE | TERMINATING

Required: No

CreationTime

A time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

DnsName

The DNS name of a compute resource. Amazon GameLift requires a DNS name or IP address for a compute.

Type: String

Required: No

FleetArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the fleet that the compute belongs to.

Type: String

Pattern: ^arn:.*:fleet\/fleet-\S+

Required: No

FleetId

A unique identifier for the fleet that the compute belongs to.

Type: String

Pattern: ^fleet-\S+

Required: No

GameLiftServiceSdkEndpoint

The Amazon GameLift SDK endpoint connection for a registered compute resource in an Anywhere fleet. The game servers on the compute use this endpoint to connect to the Amazon GameLift service.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Required: No

IpAddress

The IP address of a compute resource. Amazon GameLift requires a DNS name or IP address for a compute.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[0-9A-Fa-f\:\.]+

Required: No

Location

The name of the custom location you added to the fleet that this compute resource resides in.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9\-]+

Required: No

OperatingSystem

The type of operating system on the compute resource.

Type: String

Valid Values: WINDOWS_2012 | AMAZON_LINUX | AMAZON_LINUX_2 | WINDOWS_2016 | AMAZON_LINUX_2023

Required: No

Type

The Amazon EC2 instance type that the fleet uses. For registered computes in an Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleet, this property is empty.

Type: String

Valid Values: t2.micro | t2.small | t2.medium | t2.large | c3.large | c3.xlarge | c3.2xlarge | c3.4xlarge | c3.8xlarge | c4.large | c4.xlarge | c4.2xlarge | c4.4xlarge | c4.8xlarge | c5.large | c5.xlarge | c5.2xlarge | c5.4xlarge | c5.9xlarge | c5.12xlarge | c5.18xlarge | c5.24xlarge | c5a.large | c5a.xlarge | c5a.2xlarge | c5a.4xlarge | c5a.8xlarge | c5a.12xlarge | c5a.16xlarge | c5a.24xlarge | r3.large | r3.xlarge | r3.2xlarge | r3.4xlarge | r3.8xlarge | r4.large | r4.xlarge | r4.2xlarge | r4.4xlarge | r4.8xlarge | r4.16xlarge | r5.large | r5.xlarge | r5.2xlarge | r5.4xlarge | r5.8xlarge | r5.12xlarge | r5.16xlarge | r5.24xlarge | r5a.large | r5a.xlarge | r5a.2xlarge | r5a.4xlarge | r5a.8xlarge | r5a.12xlarge | r5a.16xlarge | r5a.24xlarge | m3.medium | m3.large | m3.xlarge | m3.2xlarge | m4.large | m4.xlarge | m4.2xlarge | m4.4xlarge | m4.10xlarge | m5.large | m5.xlarge | m5.2xlarge | m5.4xlarge | m5.8xlarge | m5.12xlarge | m5.16xlarge | m5.24xlarge | m5a.large | m5a.xlarge | m5a.2xlarge | m5a.4xlarge | m5a.8xlarge | m5a.12xlarge | m5a.16xlarge | m5a.24xlarge | c5d.large | c5d.xlarge | c5d.2xlarge | c5d.4xlarge | c5d.9xlarge | c5d.12xlarge | c5d.18xlarge | c5d.24xlarge | c6a.large | c6a.xlarge | c6a.2xlarge | c6a.4xlarge | c6a.8xlarge | c6a.12xlarge | c6a.16xlarge | c6a.24xlarge | c6i.large | c6i.xlarge | c6i.2xlarge | c6i.4xlarge | c6i.8xlarge | c6i.12xlarge | c6i.16xlarge | c6i.24xlarge | r5d.large | r5d.xlarge | r5d.2xlarge | r5d.4xlarge | r5d.8xlarge | r5d.12xlarge | r5d.16xlarge | r5d.24xlarge | m6g.medium | m6g.large | m6g.xlarge | m6g.2xlarge | m6g.4xlarge | m6g.8xlarge | m6g.12xlarge | m6g.16xlarge | c6g.medium | c6g.large | c6g.xlarge | c6g.2xlarge | c6g.4xlarge | c6g.8xlarge | c6g.12xlarge | c6g.16xlarge | r6g.medium | r6g.large | r6g.xlarge | r6g.2xlarge | r6g.4xlarge | r6g.8xlarge | r6g.12xlarge | r6g.16xlarge | c6gn.medium | c6gn.large | c6gn.xlarge | c6gn.2xlarge | c6gn.4xlarge | c6gn.8xlarge | c6gn.12xlarge | c6gn.16xlarge | c7g.medium | c7g.large | c7g.xlarge | c7g.2xlarge | c7g.4xlarge | c7g.8xlarge | c7g.12xlarge | c7g.16xlarge | r7g.medium | r7g.large | r7g.xlarge | r7g.2xlarge | r7g.4xlarge | r7g.8xlarge | r7g.12xlarge | r7g.16xlarge | m7g.medium | m7g.large | m7g.xlarge | m7g.2xlarge | m7g.4xlarge | m7g.8xlarge | m7g.12xlarge | m7g.16xlarge | g5g.xlarge | g5g.2xlarge | g5g.4xlarge | g5g.8xlarge | g5g.16xlarge
