Question about Cloud Deployment

[Strepto]

Hi,

I am looking at the FAQ, where it says that "Unity is not supported for rendering server". What does this mean, and where can I get more information about this?

Is there any preventing me from deploying this to a cloud service like Azure or Google Cloud Platform?

## Is it available to deploy Unity to cloud service like GCP as a rendering server?

Unity is not supported using for rendering server.

Hi @Strepto , at very early stage I've participated a little in the integration of RenderStreaming. I would share some of my thoughts on this.

Technically you can deploy a dedicated server in a cloud service vendor like GCP/AWS running Unity. But there are few things you should take into consideration:

1. As WebRTC has been used, to support a stable service, you'd better implement your own signal server and also setup your own stun/turn server. Otherwise your client can easily be kicked out.

2. RenderStreaming is a CPU/GPU heavy project. And it is costly to use such machine in a public cloud service provider. And in one physical machine, you can just run a few streaming project. Unity would not provide such server according to FAQ.

My colleagues from RenderStreaming team may answer you better. Just hope it helps!

Thank you for your insights.

If I understand you correctly, it is OK to self-host my Unity Render Streaming solution in AWS. Unity will not support me in setting this up, but will not stop me from doing so either?

Unity will definitely not stop you from hosting your solution in AWS.
We will appreciate it if you let us know how it goes.

Thank you! Marking this as resolved.
