Getting started with Deadline Cloud

To create a farm in AWS Deadline Cloud, you can use either the Deadline Cloud console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). Use the console for a guided experience creating the farm, including queues and fleets. Use the AWS CLI to work directly with the service, or for developing your own tools that work with Deadline Cloud.

To create a farm and use the Deadline Cloud monitor, set up your account for Deadline Cloud. You only need to set up the Deadline Cloud monitor infrastructure once per account. From your farm, you can manage your project, including user access to your farm and its resources.

To create a farm without setting up the Deadline Cloud monitor infrastructure, set up a developer workstation for Deadline Cloud.

To create a farm with minimal resources to accept jobs, select Quickstart in the console home page. Set up the Deadline Cloud monitor walks you through those steps. These farms start with a queue and a fleet that are automatically associated. This approach is a convenient way to create sandbox style farms to experiment in.
