@Marvin is it possible to set tags for the ECS Task Definition and ECS Tasks?
m
Yes, it is possible to set tags for both the ECS Task Definition and ECS Tasks. There are multiple ways that Amazon ECS tasks, services, task definitions, and clusters are tagged: 1. A user manually tags a resource by using the AWS Management Console, Amazon ECS API, the AWS CLI, or an AWS SDK. 2. A user creates a service or runs a standalone task and selects the Amazon ECS-managed tags option. For more details, you can refer to the official AWS documentation on Tagging your Amazon ECS resources.

@Marvin is this possible through the prefect-aws ECSTask?
m
The Prefect AWS ECS Task does not directly support setting tags for the ECS Task Definition and ECS Tasks. The ECS Task infrastructure runs your flow in an ECS Task and requires the following: - The ephemeral Prefect API won't work with ECS directly. You must have a Prefect server or Prefect Cloud API endpoint set in your agent's configuration. - The prefect-aws collection must be installed within the agent environment:
pip install prefect-aws
- The ECSTask and AwsCredentials blocks must be registered within the agent environment:
prefect block register -m prefect_aws.ecs
- You must configure remote Storage. Local storage is not supported for ECS tasks. The most commonly used type of storage with ECSTask is S3. If you leverage that type of block, make sure that s3fs is installed within your agent and flow run environment. However, it does not mention the ability to set tags. You might need to manually set the tags through AWS Management Console, Amazon ECS API, the AWS CLI, or an AWS SDK. For more specific details or updates, you might want to check the official Prefect documentation or their GitHub repository.
marvin appears to be wrong here

@Nate just to confirm, these are AWS tags right? Any examples of how to set them?
n
i believe so yeah and no examples of that exact thing that im aware of, its just one of the many things you can set on the ecs work pool (you can see it in the advanced tab of your work pool), so you can hardcode them in there for your work pool or template override them for each deployment in your
prefect.yaml
