Methods and systems for provisioning a game container within a cloud computing system

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• a workflow builder implemented by one or more processors and configured to:
• access a game manifest, the game manifest including attributes characterizing a game infrastructure role used by a game hosted within a cloud computing system, the cloud computing system includes a plurality of computational nodes, and
• generate, by one or more processors, a workflow definition based on the attributes of the game manifest, the workflow definition specifying an instance count of the game infrastructure role and a workflow activity;
• and
• a workflow builder implemented by one or more processors and configured to:
• identify a group of computational nodes from the plurality of computational nodes, the group of computational nodes having a size based on the instance count, and
• configure the group of computational nodes by executing the workflow activity on each computational node from the group of computational nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a game manifest, the game manifest including attributes characterizing a game infrastructure role used by a game hosted within a cloud computing system, the cloud computing system includes a plurality of computational nodes;
• generating, by one or more processors, a workflow definition based on the attributes of the game manifest, the workflow definition specifying an instance count of the game infrastructure role and a workflow activity;
• identifying a group of computational nodes from the plurality of computational nodes, the group of computational nodes having a size based on the instance count;
• and
• configuring the group of computational nodes by executing the workflow activity on each computational node from the group of computational nodes.
