Azure Game Streaming VM management

Hi there 👋

My name is Johannes Ebner (he/him), and I go by the alias Structed on the interwebz.

I am a freelance "Gaming Solution Architect" and foudner of Structed.me. That means, I work with 🎮game studios and help them build online sevices/backends on a technical & economic level and help them to improve their production processes.

📽️ I helped Valheim move from Steamworks P2P to PlayFab Party networking for Cross-Play! Valheim Case Study: Piktiv Shares Learnings from Integrating Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Services

I am not only an avid gamer myself, but have spent a number of years actually building games! :-)

Working on...

• godot-playfab A PlayFab SDK/integration for the Godot Engine! (now used by BpopinBits' Dome Keeper!)
• PlayFabLevelLeaderboards, a reference implementation for level-based leaderboards using PlayFab & Redis (on Azure).

• The "PlayFabMatchHistoryExtension", which I started building with @Annonator during Microsoft Hackweek in October 2021.

Projects I (co-)maintain

gamezure's Issues

Create CI/CD workflow

• Create build script - use Nuke?
  • Needs to work both locally, and on any build system
  • Should check for all pre-requisites for local and remote deployment
  • Steps:
    • Restore
    • Build
    • Deploy Azure Function App
• Create GitHub Actions build, executing the script

Save VM Passwords in Azure KeyVault

• Update Terraform config to create KeyVault in management group
• Save VM passwords to KeyVault items
• Potentially link VMs to these entries to pull Passwords

Add Tags to all Pool Resources in Azure

Use Azure Table Storage to save VMs

• Allows for cheaper storage
  • Can update VMs individually instead of saving the full Pool document in CosmosDb
