Overview
A simplified user experience is a key aspect of developing gaming applications. Gamers will appreciate fewer clicks to download and install applications.
This blog will focus on the best gaming services that Amazon has launched for gamers who want to play online games.
Cloud refers to a network that contains servers that deliver content to anyone who is trying to access it. Cloud gaming is a similar service. Signing up for a service grants us access to a remote server with the hardware necessary for running games. After we launch a game, a video stream is sent to our computer.
Game developers prefer to spend their time creating innovative games that are fun and entertaining players, rather than focusing on infrastructure building. Developers need servers that are scalable when there is an increase in players worldwide at the lowest cost.
Developers need to be able to access cloud migration services from on-premises, onboard talent quickly and efficiently from any part of the world, and leverage the trend towards remote and distributed gaming development to get to market quicker.
AWS supports top game developers like Sony Interactive Entertainment and Gearbox Software, Riot Games.
It facilitates the deployment of solutions across all areas by acting as a mediator between developers and industry-leading AWS Partners like AppsFlyer and Databricks.

Cloud Game Development
We spend a lot of time setting up low-latency, flexible, secure infrastructure to support remote and distributed developers. Cloud Game Development offers developers solutions that allow them to create flexible remote studios and deploy GPU powered workstations. This allows artists and designers to work on large files in the cloud.
It also allows studios to create distributed game development pipelines, reducing security risk for remote employees. Studio owners can use Amazon EC2 instances to build or test games.
Studio: Amazon Nimble Studio makes game production more collaborative by allowing us access to multiple workstations from different places. AWS Cloud Development Kit allows game developers to create assets using popular software programs, use version control tools, and run incredibly efficiently to create a build-farm that leverages Amazon EC2 Spot Incidents, reducing build time and lowering costs.
Workstations: Parsec and Teradici allow their teams to set-up workstations that are compatible with various development tools and workflows. This allows them to provide low latency and security to content producers.
Pipelines
Version Control
3D World Building: This tool allows developers to create interactive, online virtual worlds that allow players to interact, play games, and share experiences. Open 3D Engine (O3DE), which can be customized using AWS features and extended in order to meet specific world-building needs, is available.
Consulting Support: Slalom and Globant, Six Niness, TEKsystems and Revolgy are all partners that provide support for implementation, regardless of the size or geography of the project.
