Today, AWS Thinkbox releases Deadline 10.4 with support for Autodesk 3dsMax 2025, Autodesk Maya 2025, and SideFX Houdini 20.5, a new plugin to support Houdini exports to Karma 20.0, and security and configuration changes in Deadline. The .NET Software Development Kit (SDK) has been updated to 8.0.302, and Deadline installs MongoDB version 6.0.16 by default, with support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, including Rocky and Alma. Additionally, machine-wide permissions now require user-specific configurations to be saved in user-level folders, enhancing security.

Deadline 10.4 expands its platform support for RHEL 9, including Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, providing more flexibility in how you deploy and manage render farms. Whether you are adopting these new platforms or upgrading existing infrastructure, you can now integrate Deadline without compatibility concerns, allowing you to optimize your workflows effectively.

Security improvements in machine-wide permissions help isolate critical settings, reducing the risk of accidental or malicious changes. By shifting most user-driven configuration to the user-specific Deadline.ini file, individual users can customize their experience without compromising system-wide defaults. This also simplifies management, especially in multi-user environments. The Deadline installer now selectively installs client or server components, ensuring only relevant binaries are deployed, improving system security and performance.

To download the latest version of Deadline, visit the Downloads page . For more details on this release, please see the Deadline release notes .

Amazon Redshift is announcing the general availability of Multi-AZ deployments for RA3 clusters in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions . Redshift Multi-AZ deployments support running your data warehouse in multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZ) simultaneously and continue operating in unforeseen failure scenarios. A Multi-AZ deployment raises the Redshift Service Level Agreement (SLA) to 99.99% and delivers a highly available data warehouse for the most demanding mission-critical workloads.

Enterprise customers with mission critical workloads require a data warehouse with fast failover times and simplified operations that minimizes impact to applications. A Redshift Multi-AZ deployment helps meet these demands by reducing recovery time and automatically recovering in another AZ during an unlikely event such as an AZ failure. A Multi-AZ data warehouse also maximizes query processing throughput by operating in multiple AZs and using compute resources from both AZs to process read and write queries.

Amazon Redshift Multi-AZ is now generally available for RA3 clusters through the Amazon Redshift Console, API and CLI, and in the following AWS Regions: AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). For all regions where Multi-AZ is available, see the supported AWS regions .

To learn more about Amazon Redshift Multi-AZ, see the Amazon Redshift Reliability page and Amazon Multi-AZ documentation page .

Announcing Amazon Q in AWS Supply Chain, an interactive generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) assistant that helps you operate your supply chain more efficiently by analyzing the data in your AWS Supply Chain Data Lake, providing important operational and financial insights, and answering urgent supply chain questions. It reduces the time users spend searching for relevant information, simplifies the process of finding answers, and minimizes the time spent to learn, deploy, configure, or troubleshoot AWS Supply Chain.

Amazon Q in AWS Supply Chain will enable supply chain users to deep dive into their supply chain by asking questions and getting answers based on their data, without having to wait on business intelligence engineers (BIEs). For example, a user could ask, “What is my demand forecast over the next 2 months for apples in Austin?” and Amazon Q will analyze the underlying data to provide the forecast numbers along with an explanation of the analysis. Amazon Q ensures that users access content securely with their existing AWS account credentials according to their permissions, and enterprise-level access controls.

This feature is available to customers in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Ireland) regions. Please visit AWS Supply Chain to learn more and get started.
