Here is a step-by-step guide extracted from the documentation on how to add a volume to your Prefect Amazon ECS Task Definition using prefect deploy: 1. Create AWS Credentials Block: - Navigate to Prefect Cloud or UI. - Click the 'Add +' button to create an AWS Credentials block. - In the AWS console, configure an AWS ECS user with
AmazonECS_FullAccess
and create an access key. - Name your block in Prefect Cloud and fill in your AWS
Access Key ID
and
Access Key Secret
. - Complete the block creation and select your AWS Credentials block in your ECS push workflow. 2. Specify Environment Variables: - In the Environment Variables field, you can add the
EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES
key to bake additional Python packages into your Docker image. 3. Set Task Start Timeout: - Specify the Task Start Timeout Seconds (e.g., set to 300) to ensure everything has time to start up. 4. Create a Deployment: - Run
prefect deploy
to interactively create a deployment. - Your flow code will be stored on GitHub and cloned into your ECS container upon deployment. However, in the provided documentation, there is no direct mention of how to specifically add a volume to the ECS Task Definition through
prefect deploy
. Typically, this would involve modifying the ECS task definition to include a volume definition and a corresponding mount point in the container definition. To obtain such specific information, you might want to search the official Prefect documentation, Prefect's GitHub issues for related requests or questions, or reach out to the Prefect community for guidance on how to make these specific changes to the ECS task definition for Prefect deployments.
