Overview

Creates a new fleet to run your game servers. A fleet is a set of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, each of which can run multiple server processes to host game sessions. You set up a fleet to use instances with certain hardware specifications (see Amazon EC2 Instance Types), and deploy your game build to the fleet. To create a new fleet, you must provide the following: (1) a fleet name, (2) an EC2 instance type, (3) the build ID for your game build, and (4) a run-time configuration, which specifies the server processes to run on each instance in the fleet. If fleet type is not set, the new fleet will use on-demand instances by default. If the CreateFleet call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks. You can track the process of a fleet by checking the fleet status or by monitoring fleet creation events: Creates a fleet record. Status: NEW. Begins writing events to the fleet event log, which can be accessed in the Amazon GameLift console. Sets the fleet's target capacity to 1 (desired instances), which triggers Amazon GameLift to start one new EC2 instance. Downloads the game build to the new instance and installs it. Statuses: DOWNLOADING, VALIDATING, BUILDING. Starts launching server processes on the instance. If the fleet is configured to run multiple server processes per instance, Amazon GameLift staggers each launch by a few seconds. Status: ACTIVATING. Sets the fleet's status to ACTIVE as soon as one server process is ready to host a game session. Learn more Working with Fleets.
