createWorker

Creates a worker. A worker tells your instance how much processing power (vCPU), and memory (GiB) you’ll need to assemble the digital assets held within a particular instance. You can specify certain instance types to use, or let the worker know which instances types to exclude.

Deadline Cloud limits the number of workers to less than or equal to the fleet's maximum worker count. The service maintains eventual consistency for the worker count. If you make multiple rapid calls to CreateWorker before the field updates, you might exceed your fleet's maximum worker count. For example, if your maxWorkerCount is 10 and you currently have 9 workers, making two quick CreateWorker calls might successfully create 2 workers instead of 1, resulting in 11 total workers.
