Hosting Bolt-based game in Amazon

Thund · May 2020

Hi everybody,

Let's say I want to create an authoritative headless server using Bolt and want to keep all the server-related stuff in Amazon infrastructures (without using Photon Cloud). Could I achieve that by using Bolt Pro?

Thanks.

Yes you can easily run your headless instances on EC2. Bolt Pro isn't needed to host headless instances.

I have read that with Bolt Pro, server and client can connect directly without Photon Cloud as intermediary.

I would like not to pay for 2 server infrastructures to do the same thing and I like what Amazon offers to me, as I have more expertise using their platform.
Do you offer any plan or license I could pay for, to use Bolt in a server of Amazon without subscribing to Photon Cloud CCU quotas?

Thank you
