Should this be ListObjects?

I don't follow - would that be a smaller scope of permissions?

Looking at the host config script, I don't see a use for ListBuckets but the recursive copy looks like it will need ListObjects. Does this IAM policy have a typo?

| This script installs fonts from an S3 bucket on AWS Deadline Cloud service managed fleet instances, making them available to applications like Nuke. | ||

| Be aware that fonts may render differently from operating system to operating system. |

This is Linux only right? If so, let's note that.

Should we use dnf instead of yum? It's installed by default on Amazon Linux 2023 and is the standard package manager there with more features

What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)
I needed to use fonts that aren't included on the service managed fleet image.
What was the solution? (How)
Download the font(s) from an S3 bucket and install them. This needs administrator powers, so I used a worker configuration script.
What is the impact of this change?
If you need a font on a Linux SMF you'll be able to use it. Assuming the font renders as expected, which isn't guaranteed.
How was this change tested?
Submitted a Nuke job that uses the font 'Arial' in and saw the text in the output image.
NukeTextTest.nk.zip
Was this change documented?
Yes, included a README.md.
