Share data between the worker session and container - Deadline Cloud

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.

StorageUse forLifetime 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.
