Deadline 10.2.1 is now generally available and adds new functionality with support for launching and managing Spot Fleets in multiple AWS regions from the same Spot Event Plugin and a new worker version tag for instances running on Amazon EC2.

Having Spot Fleets in multiple AWS regions from the same spot event plugin allows you to easily scale your rendering to additional capacity in more regions while managing it from a single Deadline installation. The new version tag communicates your Deadline version to AWS and will be automatically added to Deadline worker instances running on Amazon EC2. The tag will help AWS notify you via the AWS Health Dashboard about worker instances running versions of Deadline that have known issues, relevant fixes, or are no longer supported.
