AWS Deadline Cloud now supports configurable job scheduling modes for queues

AWS Deadline Cloud Release Notes

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports configurable job scheduling modes, allowing you to control how workers are distributed across jobs in a queue. This feature simplifies render management for computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for various media.

New Features

• Support for configurable job scheduling modes:
• Priority FIFO: The existing default behavior where all available workers are assigned to the highest-priority, earliest-submitted job first.
• Priority Balanced: Workers are distributed evenly across all jobs at the highest priority level.
• Weighted Balanced: Jobs are weighted based on configurable parameters including priority, error count, submission time, and rendering task count.

What to do

• Choose the scheduling mode that best fits your workflow when creating or updating a queue.
• Visit the Deadline Cloud developer guide to get started.
