update-container-fleet
Description
Updates the properties of a managed container fleet. Depending on the properties being updated, this operation might initiate a fleet deployment. You can track deployments for a fleet using https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/apireference/API_DescribeFleetDeployment.html .
As with CreateContainerFleet, many fleet properties use common defaults or are calculated based on the fleet’s container group definitions.
- Update fleet properties that result in a fleet deployment. Include only those properties that you want to change. Specify deployment configuration settings.
- Update fleet properties that don’t result in a fleet deployment. Include only those properties that you want to change.
Changes to the following properties initiate a fleet deployment:
GameServerContainerGroupDefinitionPerInstanceContainerGroupDefinitionGameServerContainerGroupsPerInstanceInstanceInboundPermissionsInstanceConnectionPortRangeLogConfiguration
If successful, this operation updates the container fleet resource, and might initiate a new deployment of fleet resources using the deployment configuration provided. A deployment replaces existing fleet instances with new instances that are deployed with the updated fleet properties. The fleet is placed in UPDATING status until the deployment is complete, then return to ACTIVE .
You can have only one update deployment active at a time for a fleet. If a second update request initiates a deployment while another deployment is in progress, the first deployment is cancelled.

If you’re updating the fleet to a specific version of a container group definition, use the ARN value and include the version number. If you’re updating the fleet to the latest version of a container group definition, you can use the name value. You can’t remove a fleet’s game server container group definition, you can only update or replace it with another definition.
Update a container group definition by calling UpdateContainerGroupDefinition . This operation creates a ContainerGroupDefinition resource with an incremented version.
--per-instance-container-group-definition-name (string)

If you’re updating the fleet to a specific version of a container group definition, use the ARN value and include the version number. If you’re updating the fleet to the latest version of a container group definition, you can use the name value.
Update a container group definition by calling UpdateContainerGroupDefinition . This operation creates a ContainerGroupDefinition resource with an incremented version.
To remove a fleet’s per-instance container group definition, leave this parameter empty and use the parameter RemoveAttributes .

Where valid values are:
PER_INSTANCE_CONTAINER_GROUP_DEFINITION
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
