Description

AWS GameLift fleets can be peered with other VPCs to grant direct access to resources in other VPCs, such as web servers and other backend services. Currently, the Terraform provider does not expose options for configuring these resources.

The workflow for creating or managing a VPC peering relationship does require some dependency management. To create a VPC peering relationship between a GameLift Fleet and a VPC, the VPC must exist, and a VPC peering authorization must be created prior to creating a VPC peering connection.

VPC peering authorizations valid for 24 hours, and are created from the AWS account where the VPC lives. Once the authorization has been granted successfully, a new or existing GameLift Fleet can then be created or updated with the VPC peering connection in the AWS account where the GameLift Fleet exists.

Support for the methods required to create Fleets with VPC peering connections, and for creating VPC peering authorizations is supported in the current aws_sdk_for_go_v2.

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_gamelift_fleet" "example" {
  build_id                = aws_gamelift_build.example.id
  ec2_instance_type       = "t2.micro"
  fleet_type              = "ON_DEMAND"
  name                    = "example-fleet-name"
  vpc_peer_aws_account_id = data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id
  vpc_peer_id             = aws_gamelift_backend_vpc.id

  runtime_configuration {
    server_process {
      concurrent_executions = 1
      launch_path           = "C:\\game\\GomokuServer.exe"
    }
  }
}
