@Marvin In prefect.yaml how do I override the CPU and Memory for a specific deployment? I am using an ecs work pool with CPU set to 512 and Memory set to 1024 and for this specific deployment I need more resources.

To override the CPU and Memory for a specific deployment in your
prefect.yaml
when using an ECS work pool, you should configure the resources at the task definition level within the
prefect.yaml
file. This isn't exactly the same as Kubernetes, but generally, to modify resource requests, you'd add a section to the deployment manifest. Here's a generalized step you can follow, similar to Kubernetes: 1. Select the Advanced tab within the deployment configuration (if applicable). 2. Edit the JSON/YAML representation of the base job or task template. 3. Add or modify the CPU and memory resource specifications according to the ECS task definition requirements. It should look something like this:
Copy code
yaml
infra_overrides:
  cpu: '1024'  # Override CPU units
  memory: '2048'  # Override Memory in MiB
These changes would be made within the deployment section that specifies the work pool or directly to the ECS task definition if you're managing it outside of Prefect infrastructure as code. If the documentation excerpts aren't providing enough specific insight, I would recommend checking the Prefect documentation or forums for ECS-specific guidance, as ECS and Kubernetes have different configurations. Ensure to replace
'1024'
and
'2048'
with the actual amount of CPU and Memory you wish to allocate for your deployment. The CPU units are expressed in a way that 1024 CPU units is the equivalent of 1 vCPU. Memory is expressed in MiB. Unfortunately, precise details with an ECS work pool example are limited in my responses due to the complexity and scope of ECS configurations. For precise and detailed instructions, including exact keys and values for
prefect.yaml
, refer to the official Prefect documentation or reach out to Prefect support.
