2016/06/28 - Amazon GameLift - 2 new 9 updated api methods
Updates the current runtime configuration for the specified fleet, which tells GameLift how to launch server processes on instances in the fleet. You can update a fleet's runtime configuration at any time after the fleet is created; it does not need to be in an ACTIVE state.
To update runtime configuration, specify the fleet ID and provide a RuntimeConfiguration object with the updated collection of server process configurations.
Each instance in a GameLift fleet checks regularly for an updated runtime configuration and changes how it launches server processes to comply with the latest version. Existing server processes are not affected by the update; they continue to run until they end, while GameLift simply adds new server processes to fit the current runtime configuration. As a result, the runtime configuration changes are applied gradually as existing processes shut down and new processes are launched in GameLift's normal process recycling activity.

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 configure a fleet to create instances with certain hardware specifications (see Amazon EC2 Instance Types for more information), and deploy a specified game build to each instance. A newly created fleet passes through several states; once it reaches the ACTIVE state, it can begin hosting game sessions.
To create a new fleet, provide a fleet name, an EC2 instance type, and a build ID of the game build to deploy. You can also configure the new fleet with the following settings: (1) a runtime configuration describing what server processes to run on each instance in the fleet (required to create fleet), (2) access permissions for inbound traffic, (3) fleet-wide game session protection, and (4) the location of default log files for GameLift to upload and store.
If the CreateFleet call is successful, Amazon GameLift performs the following tasks:
Creates a fleet record and sets the state to NEW (followed by other states as the fleet is activated).
Sets the fleet's capacity to 1 "desired", which causes GameLift to start one new EC2 instance.
Starts launching server processes on the instance. If the fleet is configured to run multiple server processes per instance, GameLift staggers each launch by a few seconds.
Begins writing events to the fleet event log, which can be accessed in the GameLift console.
Sets the fleet's status to ACTIVE once one server process in the fleet is ready to host a game session.
After a fleet is created, use the following actions to change fleet properties and configuration:
UpdateFleetAttributes -- Update fleet metadata, including name and description.
UpdateFleetCapacity -- Increase or decrease the number of instances you want the fleet to maintain.
UpdateFleetPortSettings -- Change the IP address and port ranges that allow access to incoming traffic.
UpdateRuntimeConfiguration -- Change how server processes are launched in the fleet, including launch path, launch parameters, and the number of concurrent processes.

(string) --
string
[REQUIRED]
Name of an EC2 instance type that is supported in Amazon GameLift. A fleet instance type determines the computing resources of each instance in the fleet, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. GameLift supports the following EC2 instance types. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for detailed descriptions.
list
Range of IP addresses and port settings that permit inbound traffic to access server processes running on the fleet. If no inbound permissions are set, including both IP address range and port range, the server processes in the fleet cannot accept connections. You can specify one or more sets of permissions for a fleet.
(dict) --
A range of IP addresses and port settings that allow inbound traffic to connect to server processes on GameLift. Each game session hosted on a fleet is assigned a unique combination of IP address and port number, which must fall into the fleet's allowed ranges. This combination is included in the GameSession object.
FromPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Starting value for a range of allowed port numbers.
ToPort (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Ending value for a range of allowed port numbers. Port numbers are end-inclusive. This value must be higher than FromPort .
IpRange (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Range of allowed IP addresses. This value must be expressed in CIDR notation . Example: "000.000.000.000/[subnet mask] " or optionally the shortened version "0.0.0.0/[subnet mask] ".
Protocol (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Network communication protocol used by the fleet.
string
Game session protection policy to apply to all instances in this fleet. If this parameter is not set, instances in this fleet default to no protection. You can change a fleet's protection policy using UpdateFleetAttributes, but this change will only affect sessions created after the policy change. You can also set protection for individual instances using UpdateGameSession .
NoProtection – The game session can be terminated during a scale-down event.
FullProtection – If the game session is in an ACTIVE status, it cannot be terminated during a scale-down event.
dict
Instructions for launching server processes on each instance in the fleet. The runtime configuration for a fleet has a collection of server process configurations, one for each type of server process to run on an instance. A server process configuration specifies the location of the server executable, launch parameters, and the number of concurrent processes with that configuration to maintain on each instance. A CreateFleet request must include a runtime configuration with at least one server process configuration; otherwise the request will fail with an invalid request exception. (This parameter replaces the parameters ServerLaunchPath and ServerLaunchParameters ; requests that contain values for these parameters instead of a runtime configuration will continue to work.)

{'GameSessions': {'Port': 'integer'}}
Retrieves properties for one or more game sessions. This action can be used in several ways: (1) provide a GameSessionId to request properties for a specific game session; (2) provide a FleetId or an AliasId to request properties for all game sessions running on a fleet.
To get game session record(s), specify just one of the following: game session ID, fleet ID, or alias ID. You can filter this request by game session status. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages. If successful, a GameSession object is returned for each session matching the request.
