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.

How does AWS Portal relate to the Spot Event Plugin?
The AWS Portal is an all-in-one solution, where as the Spot Event Plugin requires you to set up AWS infrastructure yourself to communicate with your farm and doesn’t handle asset transfer. Both components can technically be run at the same time but they do not complement each other.
