Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces support for configurable job scheduling modes, giving you control over how workers are distributed across jobs in a queue. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for films, TV shows, commercials, games, and industrial design.
Previously, all available workers were assigned to the highest-priority, earliest-submitted job first, which could delay feedback on other submitted jobs. You can now choose from three scheduling modes when creating or updating a queue: priority FIFO (the existing default behavior), priority balanced (workers are distributed evenly across all jobs at the highest priority level), and weighted balanced (jobs are weighted based on configurable parameters including priority, error count, submission time, and rendering task count). Priority balanced and weighted balanced scheduling modes enable artists to get immediate feedback on their submissions without waiting for earlier jobs to complete.
Configurable job scheduling modes are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Deadline Cloud is supported. To get started, visit the Deadline Cloud developer guide.
