Using Azure Batch with render farm managers

If you're using an existing on-premises render farm, then it's highly likely that a render manager controls the render farm capacity and render jobs.

Azure provides either built-in support or add-ons for popular render managers. You can then add and remove Azure VMs, including VMs with the pay-for-use application licensing and low-priority VMs.

The following render managers are supported:

• PipelineFX Qube!
• Royal Render
• Thinkbox Deadline

Using Azure with PipelineFX Qube

Scripts and instructions to enable Azure Batch pool VMs to be used as Qube workers are in the GitHub repository.

Using Azure with Royal Render

Royal Render has Azure and Azure Batch integration built-in, allowing you to extend a render farm with Azure-based VMs. For a summary, see the help files.

For an example of a Royal Render customer using the Azure integration, see the Jellyfish Pictures customer story.

Using Azure with Thinkbox Deadline

Scripts and instructions to enable Azure Batch pool VMs to be used as Deadline slaves are in the GitHub repository.

Next steps
