<p>Hi Matthew,</p>
<p>Karl's answer is not entirely accurate, it really depends on the
game title. While some games do run in Azure there are many cases
where "the cloud" is not ideal due to the performance requirements
of the server software. Furthermore, if your game can't easily
scale up/down it's not exactly cheap to run a public cloud
instance on a permanent basis and that's where specialized hosting
providers come in.</p>
<p>Full disclosure: my employer i3D.net AS49544 hosts a significant
portion of the Xbox but also PC/PlayStation infrastructure in
Australia, mostly for shooter-like game titles - and I doubt we're
the only one competing for this niche of the market.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Martijn</p>

<div>The Xbox live Australian gaming servers are part of the
Australian Azure cluster. (spread between Australia East,
South East Clusters)</div>
<div>You can see which ranges are part of the Australian Azure
DC here: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=41653" target="_blank">https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=41653</a><br>

As for peering I guess you can look that up once you have the
ranges?</div>
