        abstract = {The growing popularity of sandbox and competitive gaming has increased the demand for configurable multiplayer game servers. Traditional provisioning methods rely on manual configuration, which adds complexity and leads to delays. This study examines how containerization and API-driven automation can significantly improve both provisioning efficiency and system security. The central research question asks whether automated container-based provisioning can reduce latency while maintaining scalability and security. Using a three-tier architecture built on AMD EPYC 9355 processors, the proposed solution achieves deployment times of approximately 12 seconds, compared to 15–30 minutes for conventional VPS setups. Security is enforced through token validation, firewall isolation, and multi-layered filtering. These findings confirm that the proposed approach is well-suited for real-time gaming infrastructure.},
