| 2026-02-05 | Deadline Cloud now supports IAM Identity Center multi-region replication |

| 2026-02-04 | Sample job bundle for FLUX.2 Klein LoRA training now available |
A sample job bundle is now available that demonstrates how to train custom LoRA adapters on the FLUX.2 Klein model using 20-50 images.

The LoRA fine-tuning approach creates small, portable model adapters that are efficient to train and easy to share across your team. |
| 2026-01-29 | V-Ray Standalone tiled rendering job bundle now available |
A new job bundle for tiled rendering of exported V-Ray scenes is now available. This job bundle enables efficient rendering of high-resolution images by splitting them into tiles that can be processed in parallel across your render farm. Customers using 3ds Max and V-Ray can export V-Ray scenes locally and submit them using this bundle to Linux workers instead of needing to use Windows. |
| 2026-01-27 | Deadline Cloud now supports editing job name and description |

| 2026-01-15 | Deadline Cloud SDKs now include waiters for job completion |
AWS Deadline Cloud SDKs now include JobComplete and JobSucceeded waiters that simplify polling for job status. The JobComplete waiter polls until a job reaches any terminal state (SUCCEEDED, FAILED, or CANCELED), while the JobSucceeded waiter polls until a job succeeds. These waiters eliminate the need to write custom polling logic, making it easier to build automation workflows that depend on job completion. |
| 2026-01-15 | Deadline Cloud now supports tagging Budgets | AWS Deadline Cloud customers can now apply tags to Budget resources and use Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for fine-grained permissions management. This new capability allows customers to organize, manage, and control access to their Deadline Cloud budgets using tags, enabling consistent authorization patterns across their AWS resources. Customers can now tag budgets during creation and use these tags in IAM policies to control who can access specific budgets based on tag values. |
| 2026-01-15 | Deadline Cloud monitor search now supports multi-select filtering | When using the Deadline Cloud monitor, you can now select up to 16 values for any search filter, including user names and job status.
