A Kubernetes operator for deploying dedicated video game servers.
Games available to host can be found in the registry.
Bringing dedicated video game servers to the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Running game servers in containers is already useful for consistency and efficiency. This project takes things a step further by allowing the servers to be managed by an orchestrator.
In doing so, we can reap some of the benefits already built into Kubernetes:
- Isolation - servers cannot access other instances
- Self healing - if a failure occurs, servers automatically recover and resume within minutes
- Platform agnostic - runs anywhere Kubernetes can; on any cloud
Not every Kubernetes component can be leveraged however, since game servers aren't compatible with some. Dedicated servers cannot have replicas, so cannot be highly available.
We believe that the benefits vastly outweigh the could have been's.
- go version v1.21.0+
- docker version 17.03+.
- kubectl version v1.11.3+.
- Access to a Kubernetes v1.11.3+ cluster.
