How RightScale and AWS power the infrastructure for Ubisoft social network

games

• Hi, I’m Ronnie• I work for Ubisoft

• Why we’re all here today

….and I’m going to do that by

In the beginning…• How we got started with hosting SNG’s

• What did we do– New hosting infrastructure– One stack to rule them all

• What happened– Our solution worked for some but not others– It took us a long time to provision

Lessons Learned• Ummmm, this could be bigger than we

thought• Don’t inhibit, facilitate• Other ideas….

…and then• Inherited a soon to be launched social

game called CSI:Crime City• What did we do?

– Took care of business. • What happened

– The game blew up, in a good way. • 2.3m MAU, 420k DAU, 50k CCU in 45 days.• 15 -> 175 servers in 40 days

Lessons learned

• This is bigger than we thought• No going back ….

….and now• 3 live games, a half dozen more in the pipeline • Easily handle peaks of 10m MAU, 1m DAU in 30 days• Schedule and resource based scaling• Scripted deployments via RS API• Logical grouping into deployments

• How we’re becoming successful :– Able to provisioning in minutes versus weeks– Working hand in hand with developers on infrastructure

design, development practices, highly scalable solutions

• We’re not quite there yet– Push button deployments– Extended catalogue of mix & match stacks

• Focus on– Trend spotting– Optimization– Cost reduction– Working with developers

Have a good day.
