Hi, I'm working on a prefect flow where I'm using

playwright

python package. Can I use my own ec2 to run py script. and use prefect to maintain logs

yes! you can run an worker on the EC2 with your env vars (like PREFECT_API_KEY and PREFECT_API_URL) and schedule work there - if you have something like free tier prefect cloud, the logs will be streamed back to your flow runs page in the cloud ui, otherwise the same would be true for a self hosted server

Hi @Nate thanks for your response, can you please paste any link of blog/video for me to check

• get prefect cloud free tier • create a simple Process work pool • run a worker on EC2 (process type) against that work pool • now locally, login to a workspace with

prefect cloud login

• write your flow •

prefect deploy

and select that work pool

@Nate: I was looking for something similar and found this thread! I was wondering from where will the EC2 pull the code to execute the flows.

hi @Soham - it depends how you define your

pull

step for example, if you use

git_clone

- the worker will clone your code from the specified remote repo (like this) when executing the

pull

step on the EC2
