Container for the parameters to the ClaimGameServer operation. This operation is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ solution and game server groups.
Locates an available game server and temporarily reserves it to host gameplay and
players. This operation is called from a game client or client service (such as a
matchmaker) to request hosting resources for a new game session. In response, Amazon
GameLift FleetIQ locates an available game server, places it in CLAIMED status
for 60 seconds, and returns connection information that players can use to connect
to the game server.
To claim a game server, identify a game server group. You can also specify a game
server ID, although this approach bypasses Amazon GameLift FleetIQ placement optimization.
Optionally, include game data to pass to the game server at the start of a game session,
such as a game map or player information. Add filter options to further restrict how
a game server is chosen, such as only allowing game servers on ACTIVE instances
to be claimed.
When a game server is successfully claimed, connection information is returned. A
claimed game server's utilization status remains AVAILABLE while the claim
status is set to CLAIMED for up to 60 seconds. This time period gives the game
server time to update its status to UTILIZED after players join. If the game
server's status is not updated within 60 seconds, the game server reverts to unclaimed
status and is available to be claimed by another request. The claim time period is
a fixed value and is not configurable.
If you try to claim a specific game server, this request will fail in the following cases:
-
If the game server utilization status is
UTILIZED. -
If the game server claim status is
CLAIMED. -
If the game server is running on an instance in
DRAININGstatus and the provided filter option does not allow placing onDRAININGinstances.
