AWS announces expanded instance family support in Deadline Cloud, adding new 6th, 7th, and 8th generation EC2 instances to enhance visual effects and animation rendering workloads. This release includes support for C7i, C7a, M7i, M7a, R7a, R7i, M8a, M8i, and R8i instance families, along with additional 6th generation instance types that were previously unavailable. Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps customers run visual compute workloads in the cloud without having to manage infrastructure. With this enhancement, studios can utilize a broader range of AWS compute technology to optimize their rendering workflows. The compute-optimized (C-series), general-purpose (M-series), and memory-optimized (R-series) instances provide tailored options for different rendering workloads - from compute-intensive simulations to memory-heavy scene processing. The inclusion of latest-generation instances like M8a and R8i enables customers to access improved performance and efficiency for their most demanding rendering tasks. These instance families are available in all 10 AWS Regions where Deadline Cloud is offered. The specific instance types available in each Region depend on the regional availability of the EC2 instance types themselves. To learn more about the new instance types supported in Deadline Cloud and their regional availability, see the AWS Deadline Cloud pricing page.

AWS Deadline Cloud now includes the ability to specify a limit for a specific resource, like a floating license, and also constrain the maximum number of workers that work on a job. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for teams creating computer-generated graphics and visual effects, for films, television and broadcasting, web content, and design. By adding a limit to your Deadline Cloud farm, you can specify a maximum amount of concurrent usage of resources by workers in your farm. Capping resource usage ensures tasks don't start until the resources needed to run are available. For example, if you have 50 floating licenses for a particular plugin required by your rendering workflow, a Deadline Cloud limit allows you to ensure no more than 50 tasks requiring that limit are started, preventing tasks from failing due to the license being unavailable. Additionally, setting a maximum number of workers on a job enables you to prevent any single job from consuming all the available workers so that you can efficiently run multiple jobs concurrently when there are a limited number of workers available. Limits are available in all AWS Regions where Deadline Cloud is available. To learn more, visit the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.
