Abstract：Existing cloud gaming deployments typically assign a virtual machine to each user, run the full game in the virtual machine, and then transmit the game footage from the virtual machine to the user. This approach comes with a huge performance overhead. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a cloud gaming architecture based on containerization. This architecture divides the game structure into two layers: the game engine layer and the user data layer. By isolating the data of each user through containerization, multiple users can share the same game engine and execute it in the same game process, so as to keep the user\'s playing state from interfering with each other and significantly reduce the resource occupation of the cloud game server.In addition, in this architecture, the ability of different devices to provide users with seamless relay services can be realized by synchronizing the data of the user data layer between different devices, and the user experience remains transparent when the device is switched, without the need to perceive the handover process.
