Question from a developer:

AWS gives us 750 hours of EC2 for free: https://aws.amazon.com/free/. How can we use those free hours in PlayFab?

Custom game server hosting is managed in our account, and Amazon will not apply your 750 free hours to our account. However, you could run your custom game server in your own AWS account, using external server hosting: https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/external-game-servers .

The PlayFab matchmaker works exactly the same, regardless of whether you are using our hosting or external hosting (as long as you're using the external server hosting calls to register your servers with us, and provide a heartbeat).
