What is the Spot Fleet Management Tool
The Spot Fleet Management Tool (SFMT) is a user-friendly solution that simplifies Spot Fleet (JSON) configuration setup.
SFMT is an easy-to-use platform that enables Deadline render farm admins who lack access to specialized deployment frameworks such as the Thinkbox Deadline RFDK (Render Farm Deployment Kit).

The setup is divided into four subnets, each corresponding to a different Availability Zone. For 3DS Max, the c5.4xlarge and m5.4xlarge instances have been chosen, while Blender will be provisioned with m5.8xlarge and c5.2xlarge instances. It has been identified that 20 workers are needed for 3DS Max and 15 for Blender to efficiently handle the workload.
