AWS Deadline Cloud now sends Job, Step, and Task related events

Posted on: Oct 24, 2024

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces new event types delivered via Amazon EventBridge that allow you to trigger workflows as your jobs progress and complete. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for teams creating computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for films, TV shows, commercials, games, and industrial design.

The new events are sent when jobs, steps, and tasks change status, allowing you to build systems that react to job activity. For example, by invoking a Lambda function from these events, you can:

  • Publish a notification to Slack when a job fails
  • Automatically update a project tracking tool with job progress
  • Sync the outputs from a job to another location when jobs succeed

The new events are available in all AWS Regions where Deadline Cloud is available. For more information, please visit the Deadline Cloud product page and the Deadline Cloud User Guide.
