AWS Deadline Cloud now supports new fleet scaling configurations for render farms

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud introduces three powerful new fleet scaling options that give you greater flexibility in managing your render farm capacity and performance: worker idle duration, standby worker count, and scale out rate. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps creative teams efficiently manage and scale their rendering workloads in the cloud.

These new options give you direct control over balancing rendering speed and efficiency. Configurable worker idle duration allows you to specify how long workers remain available after completing a job, eliminating wait times between job submissions and speeding up artist’s iteration workflow. Standby worker count maintains a pool of pre-warmed, idle workers that are immediately available at job submission so your renders start right away. Scale out rate lets you configure how quickly your fleet scales, up to 500 workers per minute, giving you the control you need to match your infrastructure needs.

These flexible scaling controls are now available in AWS Deadline Cloud. To learn more, visit the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.
