Fazt.io Cloud – Open cloud infrastructure for game development and production
Fazt.io Cloud is Game-Hosting’s open cloud platform for game companies that need high-performance, flexible infrastructure without being forced into rigid vendor models. We provide access to shared customer clouds as well as full private-cloud deployments, deployed anywhere in the world.
The platform is designed for both development and production and gives customers self-service access to virtual machines, private networks, floating IPs, block storage, object storage, load balancers, shared file systems, Kubernetes clusters, and secure tenant/project management.
A cloud platform shaped around how game infrastructure actually works.
Game workloads rarely fit neatly into one infrastructure pattern. Some need raw hardware power. Some need virtualized flexibility. Some need isolated storage or highly tailored networking. Some need to run in shared environments, while others require private deployment models for control, performance, or security reasons. Fazt.io Cloud is designed to support that reality with one platform and a more flexible operating model.
It is not a generic public cloud substitute. It is an open cloud foundation designed for game companies that want stronger control over architecture, deployment patterns, operations, and long-term flexibility.
Where it fits:
Live game infrastructure
Where low latency, scale, and flexible deployment models matter.
Internal development and test workloads
Where teams need compute, storage, and networking under tighter control.
Private cloud or hybrid operating models
Where control over architecture and deployment location matters.
Multicloud strategies
Where workloads span Game-Hosting infrastructure and public cloud environments.
Built on open infrastructure
Openstack
OpenStack acts as the core control plane of the platform, providing self-service infrastructure across virtual machines, private networks, floating IPs, block storage, object storage, load balancing, shared file systems, Kubernetes clusters, and secure tenant/project management. This gives customers direct access to infrastructure resources while preserving isolation, control, and operational structure.
ZFS
Local storage is based on ZFS and further enhanced with our own additions. This gives the platform an efficient local storage layer with strong integrity characteristics and support for demanding performance-sensitive workloads.
Ceph
Ceph provides the distributed storage foundation behind block, object, and file storage services. This creates a unified storage layer that supports multiple workload patterns from one platform, while helping maintain consistency and high availability across the environment.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is the container platform within Fazt.io Cloud, allowing teams to provision and run containerized environments from the same infrastructure foundation as their virtualized workloads. This supports modern application delivery without forcing teams into a separate operational model.
