Prefect Community

Hey, I have a worker in ECS  and a few Prefect deployments. I want to enable cache for Prefect Tasks. How does that work in ECS Tasks spawned by the worker?

If i understand correctly all the cache is in `PREFECT_LOCAL_STORAGE_PATH` and that is currently the only supported option.

You can cache the results to external storage such as an S3 bucket.

Is it enough to use the Prefect Result S3 ?

If you have an S3Bucket block from <https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-aws/|prefect_aws> you can do something like this:

```from prefect.filesystems import S3

s3_block = S3.load("myawsblock")

@flow(persist_result=True, result_storage=s3_block)
def my_func():
   # call tasks the cache results
  ```
