Overview: This session is an introductory level overview of Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers, with guided steps demonstrating (a) how to wrap an existing game server with the PlayFab Multiplayer Game Server SDK and (b) deploy the game server in Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers hosted service. We'll use a Linux build of an open-source game named OpenArena, a clone of the popular first-person-shooter Quake III. Because MPS requires Docker containers for Linux builds, we'll also demonstrate how to build, package and deploy a Linux container into Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers.
