The Render Farm Deployment Kit on AWS is a library for use with the AWS Cloud Development Kit that helps you define your render farm cloud infrastructure as code.
We want to use the new Deadline 10.4.0 release with the RFDK.
Most of the issues we encountered are related to OS support in Deadline. Previously we installed Deadline on Amazon Linux 2, but this is no longer supported in Deadline 10.4.0.
Solution
We updated the OS to Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023).
Previously our scripts used Python 2. This is not installed on AL2023 by default, so we changed our scripts to use Python 3 instead.
AL2023 includes a new version of GnuPG with different output. We changed our invocation to use a machine-readable format that works on both the newer and older version.
The WF-submit-jobs-to-sets.sh scripts in our integration tests submitted jobs that run /usr/bin/sleep. This command is not available on Windows, causing occasional test failures. We changed the tests to run timeout.exe on Windows instead.
Testing
I ran the integration tests with Deadline 10.4.0.10 and confirmed that they succeed.
I also ran the integration tests on an older revision of this change, and confirmed that they succeeded with Deadline 10.3.2.1.
