Fleet

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS GameLift Fleets using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The Fleet resource lets you manage AWS GameLift Fleets for deploying and scaling game servers in the cloud.

Minimal Example

Create a basic GameLift fleet with required properties and a description.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";

const gameLiftFleet = await AWS.GameLift.Fleet("myFleet", {
  Name: "MyGameFleet",
  Description: "This is my GameLift fleet for testing.",
  FleetType: "ON_DEMAND",
  EC2InstanceType: "c5.large",
  MaxSize: 10,
  MinSize: 1,
  RuntimeConfiguration: {
    ServerProcesses: [{
      LaunchPath: "C:\\Game\\server.exe",
      Parameters: "",
      ConcurrentExecutions: 1
    }]
  }
});

Advanced Configuration

Configure a fleet with scaling policies and inbound permissions to allow traffic.

const advancedFleet = await AWS.GameLift.Fleet("advancedFleet", {
  Name: "AdvancedGameFleet",
  Description: "An advanced GameLift fleet with scaling policies.",
  FleetType: "ON_DEMAND",
  EC2InstanceType: "c5.large",
  MaxSize: 20,
  MinSize: 2,
  ScalingPolicies: [{
    Name: "AutoScalePolicy",
    MetricName: "PlayerCount",
    ScalingAdjustment: 1,
    AdjustmentType: "ChangeInCapacity",
    Cooldown: 60
  }],
  EC2InboundPermissions: [{
    FromPort: 7777,
    ToPort: 7777,
    IpProtocol: "tcp",
    IpRanges: ["0.0.0.0/0"]
  }],
  RuntimeConfiguration: {
    ServerProcesses: [{
      LaunchPath: "C:\\Game\\server.exe",
      Parameters: "",
      ConcurrentExecutions: 1
    }]
  }
});

Custom VPC Configuration

Deploy a fleet within a specific VPC to enhance security and connectivity.

const vpcFleet = await AWS.GameLift.Fleet("vpcFleet", {
  Name: "VpcGameFleet",
  Description: "GameLift fleet within a specific VPC.",
  FleetType: "ON_DEMAND",
  EC2InstanceType: "c5.large",
  MaxSize: 15,
  MinSize: 3,
  PeerVpcId: "vpc-0123456789abcdef0",
  PeerVpcAwsAccountId: "123456789012",
  EC2InboundPermissions: [{
    FromPort: 7777,
    ToPort: 7777,
    IpProtocol: "tcp",
    IpRanges: ["203.0.113.0/24"]
  }],
  RuntimeConfiguration: {
    ServerProcesses: [{
      LaunchPath: "C:\\Game\\server.exe",
      Parameters: "",
      ConcurrentExecutions: 1
    }]
  }
});

Anywhere Configuration

Create a fleet configured for Anywhere deployment, allowing it to support games running on various platforms.

const anywhereFleet = await AWS.GameLift.Fleet("anywhereFleet", {
  Name: "AnywhereGameFleet",
  Description: "GameLift fleet for Anywhere deployment.",
  FleetType: "ON_DEMAND",
  EC2InstanceType: "c5.large",
  MaxSize: 20,
  MinSize: 4,
  AnywhereConfiguration: {
    IpAddress: "203.0.113.1",
    Port: 8080
  },
  RuntimeConfiguration: {
    ServerProcesses: [{
      LaunchPath: "C:\\Game\\server.exe",
      Parameters: "",
      ConcurrentExecutions: 2
    }]
  }
});
