Thank you for providing what information you can.

I'm a game server operator. I'm not currently running anything, but I probably will in the future. We used to receive volumetric L3/L4 floods all the time from booters. The good thing is these were always just dumb kids, not sophisticated attackers, so they would be easy to filter with a simple ACL (often they were targeting some random port we don't use, so a simple rule set of "accept whatever UDP and/or TCP ports we use, drop all else" would be effective). There were a few providers who would set up these ACLs, but they were only effective up to a few Gbps and would null route past that.

If I get back into this, I will give GCE a try with GCLB in front for, effectively, ACLs. In my experience it's a near certainty that any reasonably popular game server will be attacked (very often as retaliation for banning someone for cheating). I'd imagine your mitigation capabilities for a small-time game server customer paying a few hundred a month would be different than a large corporate client paying 5 figures, but I'd still like to try GCE for this as it seems like the best bet (besides OVH).
