the worker is started within the docker container with

# Run worker
prefect worker start --pool "${PROJECT}-${ENVIRONMENT}-ecs"

In my setup I'm running a worker on EC2 and the deployment is a docker container on the same EC2 instance

Maybe you could change the command to

prefect worker start --pool "${PROJECT}-${ENVIRONMENT}-ecs" > /prefect_worker_log.log

and then have the CloudWatch agent in there pick it up. But I'm sure there's a way to pass the

awslogs

driver to the container with a dockerfile or maybe with the job_variables section in the prefect.yaml/deploy(). When I first started with Prefect I had a docker-compose file that I was able to specify the

awslogs

driver in, and that worked for each container it created.
