AWS Deadline Cloud now tracks automatic download status in the Deadline Cloud Monitor

The AWS Deadline Cloud monitor now shows the progress, status, and health of your automatic file downloads from jobs running in the cloud. Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps teams run compute-intensive workloads in the cloud for visual effects, animation, product design, simulation, and gaming. The Deadline Cloud Monitor (DCM) desktop app provides customers with visibility into their render environments, jobs, resources, and costs. Now, customers can also use the monitor to confirm that automatically configured job outputs successfully downloaded to their destination drive.

With this update, the monitor app introduces a new "Download Status" column at both the job and task level, showing download progress and confirming when all output files are available on your drive. An indicator displays how current that status is. If files are unavailable for any reason, the app surfaces clear guidance on next steps. This eliminates manual drive verification and helps teams confidently confirm output availability before downstream tasks begin, particularly valuable in large-scale render pipelines where manual file checking is impractical.
