GameLiftStreams / Client / create_application

create_application

GameLiftStreams.Client.create_application(**kwargs)

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.

Warning

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.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_application(
    ApplicationLogOutputUri='string',
    ApplicationLogPaths=[
        'string',
    ],
    ApplicationSourceUri='string',
    ClientToken='string',
    Description='string',
    ExecutablePath='string',
    RuntimeEnvironment={
        'Type': 'PROTON'|'WINDOWS'|'UBUNTU',
        'Version': 'string'
    },
    Tags={
        'string': 'string'
    }
)

Parameters:

• ApplicationLogOutputUri (string) –

  An Amazon S3 URI to a bucket where you would like Amazon GameLift Streams to save application logs. Required if you specify one or more ApplicationLogPaths.

  Note

  The log bucket must have permissions that give Amazon GameLift Streams access to write the log files. For more information, see Getting Started in the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide.

• ApplicationLogPaths (list) –

  Locations of log files that your content generates during a stream session. Enter path values that are relative to the ApplicationSourceUri location. You can specify up to 10 log paths. Amazon GameLift Streams uploads designated log files to the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify in ApplicationLogOutputUri at the end of a stream session. To retrieve stored log files, call GetStreamSession and get the LogFileLocationUri.

  • (string) –

• ApplicationSourceUri (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The location of the content that you want to stream. Enter an Amazon S3 URI to a bucket that contains your game or other application. The location can have a multi-level prefix structure, but it must include all the files needed to run the content. Amazon GameLift Streams copies everything under the specified location.

  This value is immutable. To designate a different content location, create a new application.

  Note

  The Amazon S3 bucket and the Amazon GameLift Streams application must be in the same Amazon Web Services Region.

• ClientToken (string) –

  A unique identifier that represents a client request. The request is idempotent, which ensures that an API request completes only once. When users send a request, Amazon GameLift Streams automatically populates this field.

  This field is autopopulated if not provided.

• Description (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  A human-readable label for the application. You can update this value later.

• ExecutablePath (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The path and file name of the executable file that launches the content for streaming. Enter a path value that is relative to the location set in ApplicationSourceUri.

• RuntimeEnvironment (dict) –

  [REQUIRED]

  Configuration settings that identify the operating system for an application resource. This can also include a compatibility layer and other drivers.

  A runtime environment can be one of the following:

  • For Linux applications

    • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ( Type=UBUNTU, Version=22_04_LTS)

  • For Windows applications

    • Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Base ( Type=WINDOWS, Version=2022)

    • Proton 8.0-5 ( Type=PROTON, Version=20241007)

    • Proton 8.0-2c ( Type=PROTON, Version=20230704)

  • Type (string) – [REQUIRED]

    The operating system and other drivers. For Proton, this also includes the Proton compatibility layer.

  • Version (string) – [REQUIRED]

    Versioned container environment for the application operating system.

• Tags (dict) –

  A list of labels to assign to the new application resource. Tags are developer-defined key-value pairs. Tagging Amazon Web Services resources is useful for resource management, access management and cost allocation. See Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. You can use TagResource to add tags, UntagResource to remove tags, and ListTagsForResource to view tags on existing resources.

  • (string) –

    • (string) –

Return type:

dict
