@Marvin when following https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-aws/ecs_guide/ I get an error trying indicating that I cannot pull the the prefect docker image. This is a fresh AWS so maybe something is not set upp correctly with the VPC?

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble pulling the Prefect Docker image. Let's try to troubleshoot this issue. First, can you confirm that you have Docker installed and running on your AWS instance? You can check this by running the following command in your terminal:

bash
docker --version

If Docker is installed, you should see the version number printed out. If not, you'll need to install Docker. Next, let's ensure that your AWS instance has the necessary permissions to pull Docker images. You'll need to have the AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryFullAccess policy attached to your instance. You can check this in the AWS Management Console. Finally, can you provide the exact error message you're seeing when you try to pull the Prefect Docker image? This will help us better understand what might be going wrong.

this is ecs so I have no such access, nor is is this the amazon ecs, I supect the vpc doesnt allow outboudn access by default or something

It seems like you might be right about the VPC not allowing outbound access by default. Here are some resources that might help: 1. Connecting to the internet - Amazon Elastic Container Service: This guide explains how Amazon ECS uses EC2 instances as cluster capacity, and any containers running on the instances can use the underlying public IP address of the host for outbound networking. However, the awsvpc network mode doesn't provide task ENIs with public IP addresses. 2. Networking between Amazon ECS services in a VPC: This guide discusses how to use Amazon ECS containers in a VPC to split monolithic applications into separate parts that can be deployed and scaled independently in a secure environment. 3. Connecting to AWS services from inside your VPC: This guide explains how a VPC endpoint enables private connections between your VPC and supported AWS services and VPC endpoint services. Traffic between your VPC and the other service doesn't leave the Amazon network. I hope these resources help you troubleshoot the issue. If you continue to have problems, please let me know.
