Note
While AWS Portal can enable cloud rendering in Deadline 10, AWS Deadline Cloud is a newer offering that has been built specifically for the cloud. It is a fully managed service that does not require installation or maintenance of infrastructure (e.g., repository, database, or license server). Worker fleet auto-scaling, asset synching, and licensing are all managed natively within AWS by Deadline Cloud. See here for more information on Deadline Cloud and its capabilities.
The AWS Portal Asset Transfer System (Advanced)¶
Introduction¶
In Deadline, an asset is a term for files that are used or produced by a renderer for a specific job. Rendering software will typically read or produce one or more assets for any given job.
Deadline 10 introduced AWS Portal - a system that enables customers to run render jobs in AWS. The AWS Portal Asset Transfer System is a feature of AWS Portal that facilitates the secure transfer of assets between On-Premise network storage and Deadline AWS Workers.
Please see this blog post for more information.
