Section titled “Concept”AWS Deadline Cloud is a managed render farm for rendering images, animation and visual effects. Rendering means creating the final images or frames from a 3D scene, and a render farm is a group of many computers for this work. Its main ideas are farm, queue, fleet and job. Artists can send jobs directly from software like Maya, Blender or Houdini. Computers scale up and down with the workload, and AWS handles managing the servers.
