GameLift fleet spins/hangs after creation

Question

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gamelift dashboard in us-west-1
2. Click "create fleet"
3. Populate the fleet creation fields
4. Click initialize fleet

Expected:
The UI loads briefly then shows provisioning details such as logs.  The fleet should be visible in the list of fleets, perhaps in a provisioning state.

Actual:
The fleet creation UI closes and is replaced with the amazon loading icon (two arrows that form a circle, spinning).  This has persisted for over an hour.

I've tried different fleet details such as spot vs on-demand to no avail.  There are no errors/logs present to suggest a failure.

Any ideas?   Thanks!

Hi,

It turns out to be a race condition on the page. The team has already pushed a fix, and we'll send an update when the fix is deployed in the us-west-1 region.

A temporary workaround to this issue is to try creating the fleet again; however, after inputting all the values, waiting for 1 minute before hitting the "initializing fleet" button. This will prevent the race condition. Alternatively, you may use the [aws CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/gamelift/create-fleet.html) to create a fleet in the us-west-1 region if you continue to see the same issue.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks again for letting us know!
