aws gamelift cli how to wait for active fleet before changing alias.

Question

Hi, I want to automate my pipeline so every build generates a new fleet and in turn our alias points to that fleet. However if I do that I get some down time between one fleet and the other. Is there a way to say cli to activate the fleet and wait for it to be active?

Answer

Hey!

While I don't think there's an inbuilt mechanism via the AWS CLI to do this, you should be able to write a command line script that polls periodically on the fleet status using [the describe-fleet-attributes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/gamelift/describe-fleet-attributes.html) command.  Note that this API has low call limits per second, so you should additionally ensure you have appropriate backoff and retry mechanisms in place to avoid getting throttled.

Thanks!
