B 2 line game cloud - our personal ec2

Currently on the Cloud

1 Our situation in 2014 2 How we improved 3 Sweet things 4 More sweet things 5 Future


Our situation in 2014

1st gen “HSP” – (2014) from cybercafe/漫画木さ/PC방 platform

2nd gen ECDH-based key exchange

Platform Billing/AAA/Monitoring, etc. & Game servers

“LGC” – (cloud release) 3rd gen: “Trident” – (current)

Globalization Issues abroad

Loading… Loading… L o ad i n g … L o a d i n g …

Fail !

Process

Dev/QA/Sandbox/REAL…

Get VM

Get L4 binding

ACLs/storage, etc.

From hours to days…

Thus, the Game Cloud project began…


Global

In our case GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing)

HAProxy instead of hardware L4 Multi-team effort

client, server, cloud We get

more flexibility less latency

The structure of your organization affects the structure of your software. And vice-versa!

DevOps Small Startup CHOOSE

Process

Progressive / Easy, simple

Requirements for our new platform : We have many third parties and technology stacks involved...

Etc.

Process For ourselves

simple reliable future proof

Process Why not…

Docker Swarm or CoreOS

Mesos Kubernetes

Process

KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND RELIABLE!

For distributed systems, minimize coordination

A good paper: https://blog.acolyer.org/2016/01/19/dcft/

• Polling • 1way dataflow • Idempotency • Commutativity • l imited trust

LGC Story

Games planned for release were suddenly canceled but we needed to show results!

Strong “sales” efforts to release other games on the LGC platform

Putting Out Fires

The release was a success,followed by a quick scaling-up, and then our first fires…

TECHNICAL

Riak fire : the system works with Riak down

OE fire: the system works with OE down

Hardware and conf fires (TDI! Soon to come!)

Full container reboot improved our design through limited trust

DCTCP- Data Center TCP

- high burst tolerance - low latency - high throughput

http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html

Distributed GC Because we generate tons of Docker images

And more and more…

• AP • Optional CP • Index/search • CRDT • Multiple backends • User ACL support

RIAK/Choose a Safe and Simple Friend Make a deliberate choice of consistency model
