Introduce: cloud on the game, choose ali cloud
From simple board and card games to large-scale role playing games, all kinds of games have become the rich content ecology of the Internet entertainment industry.
Games are naturally a kind of online content consumption, and overseas games have natural advantages. High-quality domestic games such as Yuanshen have even aroused the upsurge of foreign players to learn about Traditional Chinese culture such as Peking Opera. As a welcome way to export culture, the game industry has a lot to offer. At the same time, the domestic game industry is also growing, in the underlying technology, content planning and art modeling are increasingly mature.
Nowadays, the domestic game industry has ushered in three major trends of globalization, quality and mobile game/fragmentation, which also put forward higher requirements for the underlying facilities. These include: in order to ensure a smooth experience for players, the underlying infrastructure needs to be spread across the country so that players can access it close enough to ensure low latency; The settlement of many scenes in the game is usually computationally intensive, which requires strong computing power and high stability. The life cycle characteristics of the game itself, as well as the traffic characteristics of users logging in online, make IT resource needs of the game concentrated in service opening, version update, commuting and weekend. In order to avoid idle, IT is undoubtedly the best way to expand and shrink IT resources flexibly.
Gaming was also one of the first industries to move to the cloud, as demand for computing resources fluctuated with the number of online users, matching the elasticity of cloud computing. As the cloud chosen by most domestic game manufacturers, Ali Cloud can well meet the above requirements:
First, the general computing instance and high frequency instance of the third generation Of Dragon architecture developed by Ali Cloud are equipped with strong performance, with cloud disk IOPS up to 1 million, network forwarding up to 24 million and network bandwidth up to 100G, all of which are the world’s highest performance level and have the highest SLA in the industry.
Second, Aliyun operates 82 available regions and 2,800 edge computing nodes in 26 geographic regions around the world to ensure low-latency access for local players and facilitate game manufacturers to explore local markets. Our available regions are still under construction, including South Korea Region, which was just opened in March.
Third, Aliyun elastic computing provides a variety of cloud server families and billing methods, so that the operation of games can achieve the best cost performance with appropriate collocation.
Fourth, the rich Automatic operation and maintenance suite of CloudOps cloud, including elastic scaling, resource arrangement and operation and maintenance arrangement, enables machines to automatically expand, shrink, deploy and so on according to preset strategies, greatly improving operation and maintenance efficiency and technical students’ happiness.
Among them, in different games and business scenarios, the selection of computing resources is slightly different because of the different requirements for computing power. For example, general computing and high frequency type of high performance, suitable for bearing large game service; With the refined operation of the game, the analysis and operation of user behavior is the standard of quality games. Such frequent storage and reading of big data application scenarios, Ali Cloud I series and D series local site is the most appropriate choice; GPU cloud services can be perfect for innovative games like cloud games, real-time combat recording and rendering. In the PaaS layer, Aliyun also has cloud game solutions, EMR big data, and a variety of databases to choose from.
With the development and maturity of the game industry, more and more game customers will put most of their energy on game design and research and development, and the cloud product technology and infrastructure capacity required by game projects can be trusted to Ali Cloud. If you want to create a stable, smooth, and popular game around the world, Ali Cloud will be your rock.
As the largest domestic cloud manufacturer, Ali Cloud and domestic game manufacturers progress together, through the past decade. At present, Shangyun has become the only choice of the game industry. In recent years, changes in the game industry and changes in cloud computing products and technologies are progressing day by day. How can you make your game run more smoothly on the cloud? How to make game resource consumption more efficient and economical? How to provide the best user experience for game players?
On April 15, ali Cloud’s official website “Cloud Computing Intelligence Bureau” “Best Practice of Elastic Computing in Game Industry” program, three experts from Ali Cloud, from the current situation of the game industry, the architecture practice of different game businesses, as well as the perspective of scenarioalized cases, brought you to understand the selection of computing resources in the game cloud.
