Can Your Infrastructure Handle Success? How to Use Cloud Computing to Support Rapid Growth
In this session, Josh Fraser will share how the top Facebook game companies, including Zynga, Crowdstar and Playfish/EA, have cost-effectively managed skyrocketing growth through cloud computing. Using real-world case studies, he will outline the proven best practices and reference architectures for connected games on the cloud to enable rapid time-to-market and cost-effective growth. He will address the cost breakdown of on-demand computing versus traditional solutions, how to minimize up-front, pre-launch costs, how to deploy and manage a massive number of servers on the cloud with a minimal number of sys admin support, and how to manage cloud infrastructures to optimize the full IT lifecycle of a game - from concept and development to end-of-life.
