Associate a queue and fleet
To process jobs, you must associate a queue with a fleet. You can associate a single fleet with multiple queues and a single queue with multiple fleets. When you associate a fleet with multiple queues, it divides its workers evenly among them. Similarly, when you associate a queue with multiple fleets, it distributes jobs evenly across those fleets.
Note
To use wait and save, we recommend you associate your queue only with a fleet that uses wait and save instance types. If you associate your queue with more than one fleet, and any of those fleets use spot or on-demand instance types, your fleet might not process your jobs with wait and save instances.
Follow these steps to associate an existing queue with an existing fleet:
-
From your Deadline Cloud farm, select the Queue you want to associate with a fleet. The queue displays.
-
To select a fleet to associate with your queue, choose Associate fleets.
-
Choose the Select fleets dropdown. A list of available fleets displays.
-
From the list of available fleets, select the checkbox next to the fleet or fleets you want to associate with your queue.
-
Choose Associate. The fleet association status should now be Associated.
