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.
Configuring Firewall Exceptions¶
If you have a firewall setup, you may be blocking outbound traffic to AWS Endpoints.
To use AWS Portal, you may need to add firewall exceptions to the following endpoints
It is recommended that you simply add all AWS endpoints to the allow list using the following:
*.amazonaws.com
If you can only permit specific endpoints for security reasons, the following ones must be put on the allow list:
https://iam.amazonaws.com
sts.<region>.amazonaws.com
cloudformation.<region>.amazonaws.com
ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com
s3.<region>.amazonaws.com
https://checkip.amazonaws.com
where <region> is us-west-2 or whatever AWS region(s) you will be using in AWS Portal.
