# Deadline Cloud fleets
<a name="manage-fleets"></a>

This section explains how to manage service-managed fleets and customer-managed fleets (CMF) for Deadline Cloud.

You can set up two types of Deadline Cloud fleets:
+ Service-managed fleets are fleets of workers that have default settings provided by Deadline Cloud. These default settings are designed to be efficient and cost effective.
+ Customer-managed fleets (CMFs) provide you with full control over your processing pipeline. A CMF can reside within AWS infrastructure, on premises, or in a co-located data center. CMFs include provisioning, operations, management, and decommissioning workers in the fleet.

When you associate a fleet with multiple queues, it divides its workers evenly among those queues.
