This session brings together two of the most important components of a modern VFX pipeline — pipeline orchestration and render management — and demonstrates how they can work together seamlessly. AYON, the open-source production tracker and pipeline management platform developed by Ynput, is increasingly being adopted by studios of all sizes as a flexible and extensible alternative to proprietary tools. AWS Deadline Cloud, Amazon’s fully managed render management service, provides the elastic compute backbone that allows studios to scale rendering workloads without managing their own infrastructure.
