GetComputeAccess

This operation has been expanded to use with the Amazon GameLift containers feature, which is currently in public preview.

Requests authorization to remotely connect to a hosting resource in a Amazon GameLift managed fleet. This operation is not used with Amazon GameLift Anywhere fleets

To request access, specify the compute name and the fleet ID. If successful, this operation returns a set of temporary AWS credentials, including a two-part access key and a session token.

EC2 fleets

With an EC2 fleet (where compute type is EC2), use these credentials with Amazon EC2 Systems Manager (SSM) to start a session with the compute. For more details, see Starting a session (AWS CLI) in the Amazon EC2 Systems Manager User Guide.

Container fleets

With a container fleet (where compute type is CONTAINER), use these credentials and the target value with SSM to connect to the fleet instance where the container is running. After you're connected to the instance, use Docker commands to interact with the container.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Note

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

ComputeName

A unique identifier for the compute resource that you want to connect to. For an EC2 fleet compute, use the instance ID. For a container fleet, use the compute name (for example, a123b456c789012d3e4567f8a901b23c/1a234b56-7cd8-9e0f-a1b2-c34d567ef8a9) or the compute ARN.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?$|^arn:.*:compute\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?

Required: Yes

FleetId

A unique identifier for the fleet that holds the compute resource that you want to connect to. You can use either the fleet ID or ARN value.

Type: String

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

Required: Yes

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

ComputeArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is assigned to an Amazon GameLift compute resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::compute/compute-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

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

ComputeName

The identifier of the compute resource to be accessed. This value might be either a compute name or an instance ID.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?$|^arn:.*:compute\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)?

Credentials

A set of temporary AWS credentials for use when connecting to the compute resource with Amazon EC2 Systems Manager (SSM).

Type: AwsCredentials object

FleetArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is assigned to a Amazon GameLift fleet resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Format is arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::fleet/fleet-a1234567-b8c9-0d1e-2fa3-b45c6d7e8912.

Type: String

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

FleetId

The ID of the fleet that holds the compute resource to be accessed.

Type: String

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

Target

(For container fleets only) The instance ID where the compute resource is running.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 400.
