AWS Deadline Cloud now supports sharing job bundles
AWS Deadline Cloud now supports sharing job bundles, giving teams a simple way to distribute and reuse render job templates without manual file distribution. Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps teams run compute-intensive workloads in the cloud for visual effects, animation, product design, simulation, and gaming.
Job bundles define the jobs you submit to Deadline Cloud, including the job template, parameters, and asset references. Previously, sharing a bundle with teammates meant distributing files through shared drives or manual copying. Now, you can publish a bundle to your queue directly from the submitter or the command line, and it immediately becomes available to everyone with access to that queue. Shared bundles are packaged as portable archives and stored in the queue's existing job attachments bucket in Amazon S3, so there is no additional infrastructure or configuration to set up. This makes it easy for pipeline teams to publish standard, ready-to-submit job templates that artists can pick up and use.
You can browse bundles shared on your queue, on your local filesystem, or from your job submission history. You can preview each bundle's name, description, steps, and parameters before selecting it. New CLI commands let you manage shared bundles from the command line and integrate bundle sharing into pipeline scripts.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Deadline Cloud is available. To get started, visit the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.
