Amazon GameLift Service

Welcome to the /Amazon GameLift API Reference/. Amazon GameLift is a managed Amazon Web Services (AWS) service for developers who need a scalable, server-based solution for multiplayer games. Amazon GameLift provides setup and deployment of game servers, and handles infrastructure scaling and session management.

This reference describes the low-level service API for GameLift. You can call this API directly or use the <https://aws.amazon.com/tools/#sdk AWS SDK> for your preferred language. The AWS SDK includes a set of high-level GameLift actions multiplayer game sessions. Alternatively, you can use the <https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ AWS command-line interface> (CLI) tool, which includes commands for GameLift. For administrative actions, you can also use the Amazon GameLift console.

Manage Games and Players Through GameLift

Call these actions from your game clients and/or services to create and manage multiplayer game sessions and player sessions.

Set Up and Manage Game Servers

Use these administrative actions to configure GameLift to host your game servers. When setting up GameLift, you'll need to (1) configure a build for your game and upload build files, and (2) set up one or more fleets to host game sessions. Once you've created and activated a fleet, you can assign aliases to it, scale capacity, track performance and utilization, etc.

• Manage your builds:
  • < ListBuilds>
  • < CreateBuild>
  • < DescribeBuild>
  • < UpdateBuild>
  • < DeleteBuild>
  • < RequestUploadCredentials>
• Manage your fleets:
  • < ListFleets>
  • < CreateFleet>
  • Describe fleets:
    • < DescribeFleetAttributes>
    • < DescribeFleetCapacity>
    • < DescribeFleetPortSettings>
    • < DescribeFleetUtilization>
    • < DescribeEC2InstanceLimits>
    • < DescribeFleetEvents>
    • < DescribeRuntimeConfiguration>
  • Update fleets:
    • < UpdateFleetAttributes>
    • < UpdateFleetCapacity>
    • < UpdateFleetPortSettings>

Documentation is available via Hackage and the AWS API Reference.

The types from this library are intended to be used with amazonka, which provides mechanisms for specifying AuthN/AuthZ information and sending requests.

Use of lenses is required for constructing and manipulating types. This is due to the amount of nesting of AWS types and transparency regarding de/serialisation into more palatable Haskell values. The provided lenses should be compatible with any of the major lens libraries lens or lens-family-core.
