Stand Up a Fleet Behind an Alias
with Amazon GameLift · IT Infrastructure Management
Create a fleet, poll until ACTIVE, then create a SIMPLE alias to it.
- Create a fleet that deploys the build on EC2 instances. The fleet starts in NEW status.
- Describe the fleet and check whether it has reached ACTIVE status. Repeat this step until the fleet is ready, then proceed to create the alias.
- Create a SIMPLE alias that routes to the now-ACTIVE fleet so clients can connect through a stable alias.
What you'll need to have ready
- fleetName: A descriptive label for the new fleet.
- buildId: The build ID or ARN to deploy on the fleet. The build must be READY.
- ec2InstanceType: The EC2 instance type to host game servers on (e.g. c5.large).
- runtimeConfiguration: Instructions for how to launch and maintain server processes on each instance.
- aliasName: A descriptive label for the alias that will front the fleet.
