Monitor a Deadline Cloud customer-managed fleet health check with CloudFormation

The cmf_templates directory in the samples repository includes a deadline-fleet-health-check.yaml CloudFormation template that sets up continuous health check monitoring for a single Deadline Cloud customer-managed fleet with auto scaling. The template creates a Lambda function, an EventBridge rule, and a CloudWatch alarm that you can configure with an SNS topic.

To deploy the template, you need:

  • A Deadline Cloud farm and customer-managed fleet. Copy the Farm ID, Fleet ID, and Fleet Name from the fleet details page in the Deadline Cloud management console.

  • An EC2 Auto Scaling group that scales the fleet. Copy the Auto Scaling group name from the EC2 Auto Scaling console.

  • An SNS topic and subscription for the health check alarm. Copy the SNS topic ARN.
