Agones is a library for hosting, running and scaling dedicated game servers on Kubernetes.
Agones, is derived from the Greek word agōn which roughly translates to “contest”, “competition at games” and “gathering”. (source)
This software is currently alpha, and subject to change. Not to be used in production systems.
- Be able to define a
GameServerwithin Kubernetes - either through yaml or the via API - Manage GameServer lifecycles - including health checking and connection information.
- Client SDKs for integration with dedicated game servers to work with Agones.
- Kubernetes cluster version 1.9+
- Minikube and Google Kubernetes Engine have been tested
- If you are creating and managing your own Kubernetes cluster, the MutatingAdmissionWebhook admission controller is required. We also recommend following the recommended set of admission controllers.
- Firewall access for the range of ports that Game Servers can be connected to in the cluster.
- Game Servers must have the project SDK integrated, to manage Game Server state, health checking, etc.
Follow these instructions to create a cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Minikube, and install Agones.
Documentation and usage guides on how to develop and host dedicated game servers on top of Agones.
- Full GameServer Configuration
- Simple UDP (Go) - simple server and client that send UDP packets back and forth.
- CPP Simple (C++) - C++ example that starts up, stays healthy and then shuts down after 60 seconds.
- Xonotic - Wraps the SDK around the open source FPS game Xonotic and hosts it on Agones.
