Queue environment examples for Deadline Cloud

The queue_environments directory in the deadline-cloud-samples repository includes queue environments that you can attach to a Deadline Cloud queue. Conda and Rez queue environments provide software to jobs so that each job only needs a parameter value for CondaPackages or RezPackages to specify the list of packages to use.

Queue environments follow the Open Job Description environment template specification. To attach a queue environment to your queue, see Configure jobs using queue environments. For background on environments and how they affect your jobs, see Control the job environment with OpenJD queue environments.

To create a queue environment with the AWS CLI:

aws deadline create-queue-environment \
    --farm-id FARM_ID \
    --queue-id QUEUE_ID \
    --priority 1 \
    --template-type YAML \
    --template file://conda_queue_env_improved_caching.yaml
