Share data between the worker session and container
A container has its own filesystem. Mount a worker directory into the container when an action needs files that Deadline Cloud prepared on the worker or when later host actions need files that the container created.
| Storage | Use for | Lifetime and scope |
|---|---|---|
Session working directory |
Embedded files, job attachments, temporary files, and job output. |
One job session on one worker. |
Persistent storage |
Container layers, downloaded models, application installations, and reusable caches. |
Reusable by later workers in the same service-managed fleet and Availability Zone. It isn't shared concurrently between workers. |
For session inputs and outputs, see Share the session working directory. For reusable worker data, see Mount persistent storage in a container.
