Amazon GameLift Streams

Amazon GameLift Streams provides a global cloud solution for content streaming experiences.

Use Amazon GameLift Streams tools to upload and configure content for streaming, deploy and scale computing resources to host streams, and manage stream session placement to meet customer demand.

This Reference Guide describes the Amazon GameLift Streams service API. You can use the API through the Amazon Web Services SDK, the Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or by making direct REST calls through HTTPS.

See the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide for more information on how Amazon GameLift Streams works and how to work with it.

add_stream_group_locations(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Add locations that can host stream sessions.

You configure locations and their corresponding capacity for each stream group. Creating a stream group in a location that's nearest to your end users can help minimize latency and improve quality.

This operation provisions stream capacity at the specified locations. By default, all locations have 1 or 2 capacity, depending on the stream class option: 2 for 'High' and 1 for 'Ultra' and 'Win2022'. This operation also copies the content files of all associated applications to an internal S3 bucket at each location. This allows Amazon GameLift Streams to host performant stream sessions.

Link to this function

associate_applications(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

When you associate, or link, an application with a stream group, then Amazon GameLift Streams can launch the application using the stream group's allocated compute resources.

The stream group must be in ACTIVE status. You can reverse this action by using DisassociateApplications.

Link to this function

create_application(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Creates an application resource in Amazon GameLift Streams, which specifies the application content you want to stream, such as a game build or other software, and configures the settings to run it.

Before you create an application, upload your application content files to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. For more information, see Getting Started in the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide.

Make sure that your files in the Amazon S3 bucket are the correct version you want to use. As soon as you create a Amazon GameLift Streams application, you cannot change the files at a later time.

If the request is successful, Amazon GameLift Streams begins to create an application and sets the status to INITIALIZED. When an application reaches READY status, you can use the application to set up stream groups and start streams. To track application status, call GetApplication.

Link to this function

create_stream_group(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Manage how Amazon GameLift Streams streams your applications by using a stream group.

A stream group is a collection of resources that Amazon GameLift Streams uses to stream your application to end-users. When you create a stream group, you specify an application to stream by default and the type of hardware to use, such as the graphical processing unit (GPU). You can also link additional applications, which allows you to stream those applications using this stream group. Depending on your expected users, you also scale the number of concurrent streams you want to support at one time, and in what locations.

Stream capacity represents the number of concurrent streams that can be active at a time. You set stream capacity per location, per stream group. There are two types of capacity: always-on and on-demand:

*

Always-on: The streaming capacity that is allocated and ready to handle stream requests without delay. You pay for this capacity whether it's in use or not. Best for quickest time from streaming request to streaming session.

*

On-demand: The streaming capacity that Amazon GameLift Streams can allocate in response to stream requests, and then de-allocate when the session has terminated. This offers a cost control measure at the expense of a greater startup time (typically under 5 minutes).

To adjust the capacity of any ACTIVE stream group, call UpdateStreamGroup. If the request is successful, Amazon GameLift Streams begins creating the stream group. Amazon GameLift Streams assigns a unique ID to the stream group resource and sets the status to ACTIVATING. When the stream group reaches ACTIVE status, you can start stream sessions by using StartStreamSession. To check the stream group's status, call GetStreamGroup.

Link to this function

create_stream_session_connection(client, identifier, stream_session_identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Allows clients to reconnect to a recently disconnected stream session without losing any data from the last session.

A client can reconnect to a stream session that's in PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION or ACTIVE status. In the stream session life cycle, when the client disconnects from the stream session, the stream session transitions from CONNECTED to PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION status. When a client requests to reconnect by calling CreateStreamSessionConnection, the stream session transitions to RECONNECTING status. When the reconnection is successful, the stream session transitions to ACTIVE status. After a stream session is disconnected for longer than ConnectionTimeoutSeconds, the stream session transitions to the TERMINATED status.

To connect to an existing stream session, specify the stream group ID and stream session ID that you want to reconnect to, as well as the signal request settings to use with the stream.

ConnectionTimeoutSeconds defines the amount of time after the stream session disconnects that a reconnection is allowed. If a client is disconnected from the stream for longer than ConnectionTimeoutSeconds, the stream session ends.

delete_application(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Permanently deletes an Amazon GameLift Streams application resource.

This also deletes the application content files stored with Amazon GameLift Streams. However, this does not delete the original files that you uploaded to your Amazon S3 bucket; you can delete these any time after Amazon GameLift Streams creates an application, which is the only time Amazon GameLift Streams accesses your Amazon S3 bucket.

You can only delete an application that meets the following conditions:

* The application is in READY or ERROR status. You cannot delete an application that's in PROCESSING or INITIALIZED status.

* The application is not the default application of any stream groups. You must first delete the stream group by using DeleteStreamGroup.

* The application is not linked to any stream groups. You must first unlink the stream group by using DisassociateApplications.

* An application is not streaming in any ongoing stream session. You must wait until the client ends the stream session or call TerminateStreamSession to end the stream.

If any active stream groups exist for this application, this request returns a ValidationException.

Link to this function

delete_stream_group(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Permanently deletes all compute resources and information related to a stream group.

To delete a stream group, specify the unique stream group identifier. During the deletion process, the stream group's status is DELETING. This operation stops streams in progress and prevents new streams from starting. As a best practice, before deleting the stream group, call ListStreamSessions to check for streams in progress and take action to stop them. When you delete a stream group, any application associations referring to that stream group are automatically removed.

Link to this function

disassociate_applications(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

When you disassociate, or unlink, an application from a stream group, you can no longer stream this application by using that stream group's allocated compute resources.

Any streams in process will continue until they terminate, which helps avoid interrupting an end-user's stream. Amazon GameLift Streams will not initiate new streams using this stream group. The disassociate action does not affect the stream capacity of a stream group.

You can only disassociate an application if it's not a default application of the stream group. Check DefaultApplicationIdentifier by calling GetStreamGroup.

Link to this function

export_stream_session_files(client, identifier, stream_session_identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Export the files that your application modifies or generates in a stream session, which can help you debug or verify your application.

When your application runs, it generates output files such as logs, diagnostic information, crash dumps, save files, user data, screenshots, and so on. The files can be defined by the engine or frameworks that your application uses, or information that you've programmed your application to output.

You can only call this action on a stream session that is in progress, specifically in one of the following statuses ACTIVE, CONNECTED, PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION, and RECONNECTING. You must provide an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to store the files in. When the session ends, Amazon GameLift Streams produces a compressed folder that contains all of the files and directories that were modified or created by the application during the stream session. AWS uses your security credentials to authenticate and authorize access to your Amazon S3 bucket.

Amazon GameLift Streams collects the following generated and modified files. Find them in the corresponding folders in the .zip archive.

*

application/: The folder where your application or game is stored.

*

profile/: The user profile folder.

*

temp/: The system temp folder.

To verify the status of the exported files, use GetStreamSession.

To delete the files, delete the object in the S3 bucket.

remove_stream_group_locations(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Removes a set of remote locations from this stream group.

Amazon GameLift Streams works to release allocated compute resources in these location. Thus, stream sessions can no longer start from these locations by using this stream group. Amazon GameLift Streams also deletes the content files of all associated applications that were in Amazon GameLift Streams's internal S3 bucket at this location.

You cannot remove the region where you initially created this stream group, known as the primary location. However, you can set the stream capacity to zero.

Link to this function

start_stream_session(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

This action initiates a new stream session and outputs connection information that clients can use to access the stream.

A stream session refers to an instance of a stream that Amazon GameLift Streams transmits from the server to the end-user. A stream session runs on a compute resource, or stream capacity, that a stream group has allocated.

To start a new stream session, specify a stream group and application ID, along with the transport protocol and signal request settings to use with the stream. You must have associated at least one application to the stream group before starting a stream session, either when creating the stream group, or by using AssociateApplications.

For stream groups that have multiple locations, provide a set of locations ordered by priority by setting Locations. Amazon GameLift Streams will start a single stream session in the next available location. An application must be finished replicating in a remote location before the remote location can host a stream.

If the request is successful, Amazon GameLift Streams begins to prepare the stream. Amazon GameLift Streams assigns an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) value to the stream session resource and sets the status to ACTIVATING. During the stream preparation process, Amazon GameLift Streams queues the request and searches for available stream capacity to run the stream. This can result to one of the following:

* Amazon GameLift Streams identifies an available compute resource to run the application content and start the stream. When the stream is ready, the stream session's status changes to ACTIVE and includes stream connection information. Provide the connection information to the requesting client to join the stream session.

* Amazon GameLift Streams doesn't identify an available resource within a certain time, set by ClientToken. In this case, Amazon GameLift Streams stops processing the request, and the stream session object status changes to ERROR with status reason placementTimeout.

View Source

Updates the mutable configuration settings for a Amazon GameLift Streams application resource.

You can change the Description, ApplicationLogOutputUri, and ApplicationLogPaths.

To update application settings, specify the application ID and provide the new values. If the operation is successful, it returns the complete updated set of settings for the application.

Link to this function

update_stream_group(client, identifier, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Updates the configuration settings for an Amazon GameLift Streams stream group resource.

You can change the description, the set of locations, and the requested capacity of a stream group per location. If you want to change the stream class, create a new stream group.

Stream capacity represents the number of concurrent streams that can be active at a time. You set stream capacity per location, per stream group. There are two types of capacity: always-on and on-demand:

*

Always-on: The streaming capacity that is allocated and ready to handle stream requests without delay. You pay for this capacity whether it's in use or not. Best for quickest time from streaming request to streaming session.

*

On-demand: The streaming capacity that Amazon GameLift Streams can allocate in response to stream requests, and then de-allocate when the session has terminated. This offers a cost control measure at the expense of a greater startup time (typically under 5 minutes).

To update a stream group, specify the stream group's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and provide the new values. If the request is successful, Amazon GameLift Streams returns the complete updated metadata for the stream group.
