cloud nodes with free version

Deadline
1

I was just wondering if it was possible to setup cloud rendering with the free version and is there a limit to how many. Is it still two as usual?

Thanks

Hello,

I know using the Deadline Balancer does require a support contract, but just using a cloud VM with Deadline does not require any special licensing. Can you elaborate on what you are looking to do?

I just wanted to setup a few nodes on the cloud just to test out and have them ready in case there was a rush job.

Hi pieforme,

I recommend giving the Cloud Wizard a spin. The Cloud Wizard creates a complete demo installation of Deadline in your cloud account with 30-day licenses and cloud credits, so there is no out-of-pocket save for your time. It also creates demo jobs as part of the installation so that you can see the Balancer working and virtual machines spinning up by simply resuming the suspended jobs. You can then modify the demo installation for production use, or just use it as a reference for creating your own Deadline-based cloud pipeline from scratch.
