The objective of this project is to migrate the cloud gaming system, which is developed by a group of NTU professors and students, from local server to Amazon cloud. This requires in-depth understanding of the concept of Amazon EC2 instance, as well as the operating environment of the cloud gaming system. All the details will be documented in this paper. After successful launch of the cloud gaming system on Amazon cloud, an appropriate methodology to be used for measuring the performance will be formulated, with response delay as the main performance metric. Thereafter, experiments will be conducted to evaluate the performance of cloud gaming system that is launched on Amazon cloud. Experiment results and analysis are also covered in this paper. By launching the cloud gaming system on the real cloud, there is a possibility that the system is be able to reap the benefits of the high-end cloud technology provided by Amazon. Hence, the final objective of this paper is to provide some insights into the prospect of hosting the cloud gaming system on real cloud.
