06/30/2023, 2:53 PMUncanny, I was typing out a very similar question, but for Work Pools. I think the recommendation is to move from ECSTask to ECSWorker for new projects.

I know there are also some recipes in our github, but specifically as it relates to the task_definition_arn, I’m not sure. https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-recipes

07/03/2023, 8:10 AMThanks for that. I know one can set an arn, but prefect still creates new revisions of the task definition. I will open an issue in GH with exact details

07/03/2023, 8:12 AMIt's also quite hard to construct the correct ECSTask initialization with an ARN. As prefect then compares the 2 and creates a new one, if they don't match. So it's a puzzle one needs to solve by looking at the
prefect-aws coded
