DL 7.2.0.13R - cloud balancer starting VM for for post job task at the beginning of the job

DL 7.2.0.13R

We have a post job task to rsync low-rez versions of renders for preview. The balancer spins up a VM that sits ideal until all frames are rendered to handle the post job task, so I’m paying for a VM that’s doing nothing for, in some cases, an hour. Shouldn’t the post job task be picked up by one of the frame rendering VMs?

This sounds like another limitation in the Default Algorithm. This one is potentially a bit tricky to solve, but we certainly don’t want idle VMs sitting around. I’ll log it.

thank you.
