[Cloud relocation] Actually, there are only benefits!? I considered relocating the game platform [Beyond study session #27]

Nice to meet you!
I'm Masutani from the System Solutions Department.

Have you ever considered moving from your current cloud to another company's cloud?

However, many questions arise, such as ``What is relocation in the first place?'' ``How will the process proceed?''

This study session helped clear up any confusion regarding relocation!

Is there really any benefit in relocating the game platform?

This study session is being held jointly with
NHN JAPAN Co., Ltd. which operates TOAST The following three distinguished speakers will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of relocation. He spoke about it.

1. “ What is the relocation of the game platform? Purpose and effect explained in 5W ” Hiroki Horikoshi
Mynet Co., Ltd. 2. “ About the backend (common platform) configuration and operational load ” NHN JAPAN Co., Ltd. Ito Mr. Fumiaki
3. “ Behind the scenes of game platform relocation and the secret to stable operation as seen from case studies ” Yuki Teraoka, Beyond Co., Ltd.

Videos of each speaker's presentation can be viewed on Youtube at the link in the title!

Below, I would like to briefly introduce the contents of the presentation.

Session 1: “What is the relocation of the game platform? Purpose and effect explained in 5Ws”

From the perspective of Mynet, which handles many game titles and has actually relocated many titles.

・What is relocation? (What)
・Why are you relocating? (Why)
・Where will it be relocated? (Where)
・When should I do it? (When)
・Who will do it? (Who)

He explained in an easy-to-understand manner the purpose of relocation in the form of 5Ws and the benefits it brings !

Currently, AWS, Azure, and GCP there are many
emerging clouds such as Oracle Cloud and Alibaba Cloud There are many emerging clouds with attractive features such as high cost performance that were born out of competition during the cloud warring states era, and the benefits of being able to benefit from these are increasing.
He explained that as the service has been running for many years, various changes have occurred in the game's functions and load, so this
a good opportunity to find a more suitable environment than the current one

regarding vendor lock-in problem a phenomenon in which it becomes difficult to switch to another cloud when using services specific to each cloud,

・Although there are no services that are exactly the same, there are similar services, so consider using them
(the cloud vendor's sales person seems to be happy to teach you!)

・If it is really difficult, there is an option to leave it as is.

I received an explanation.
In fact, I think many people have given up on relocating due to the "vendor lock-in problem," so
it's great to hear from Mynet, who has actually relocated many times. It was.

Mynet uses MSP services when relocating!
(Thank you for introducing us!)
We will introduce our MSP services later!

2nd session “About backend (common infrastructure) configuration and operational load”

We also develop those hearty smartphone app games that everyone loves, and we use the platform " TOAST Gamebase " provided by TOAST. ” was explained to you!

" Gamebase " handles various functions such as external authentication, in-app payments, and push notifications that are absolutely necessary for game operation, but are difficult to develop and operate.

This is a groundbreaking service that has been created using many years of game development technology, and truly allows you to throw away the entire back end of the game! You can significantly cut down on the cost and time required to develop the backend part, allowing you to put more effort into developing your game!

" AppGuard " that prevents code tampering in game apps and detects cheat tools and emulators.

had the opportunity to hear about a service called
`` Game Infrastructure Optimization Solution, which provides consulting for reviewing infrastructure configurations, support for relocation, and follow-up after relocation

As for relocation support, we also introduce relocation agencies, which will work with Beyond to provide support for your relocation!

This is an attractive cloud that is perfect for those who are considering relocating the "TOAST" game platform

Session 3: “Behind the scenes of game platform relocation and the secret to stable operation, seen from case studies”

I would like to introduce the relocation process based on an actual relocation case that Mynet and our company conducted.

Beyond
, which supports multi-clouds and has experience in relocation to many clouds, will take care of your cloud relocation, from deciding the relocation destination and establishing a relocation schedule, to relocation work on the day of relocation, to checking the operation and load after We will do our best to support you.

In order to shorten the relocation time by even one second, we will make careful preparations on the day of the move.

In addition, we believe that relocation is not the end, but that the actual operation begins after relocation, so we
can leave the operation after relocation to our company, which operates and maintains servers 24 hours a day, 365 days You can get it!

summary

What do you think?
Relocation is a big decision as it requires time and effort,
but I think it has many benefits.
Even if you are satisfied with the current situation, you may be able to meet even more wonderful people by considering relocation!
Please enjoy a good cloud life by relocating to a cloud that is suitable for your service.
