Getting started with Deadline Cloud resources.

Focus mode
Getting started with Deadline Cloud resources. - Deadline Cloud

To start creating custom solutions for AWS Deadline Cloud, you must set up your resources. These include a farm, at least one queue for the farm, and at least one worker fleet to service the queue. You can create your resources using the Deadline Cloud console, or you can use the AWS Command Line Interface.

In this tutorial, you will use AWS CloudShell to create a simple developer farm and run the worker agent. You can then submit and run a simple job with parameters and attachments, add a service managed fleet, and clean up your farm resources when you're done.

The following sections introduce you to the different features of Deadline Cloud, and how they function and work together. Following these steps is useful for developing and testing new workloads and customizations.

For instructions to set up your farm using the console, see Getting started in the Deadline Cloud User Guide.
