@Marvin in the prefect-aws documentation, when we create a custom infrastructure and storage block, what kind of a VPC needs to be supplied to ECSTask function? I tried giving it my default vpc id, but it failed to create the ECSTask.

The ECS Task infrastructure in Prefect requires the following: 1. Prefect API Endpoint: 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. 2. Install prefect-aws: The

prefect-aws

collection must be installed within the agent environment. You can install it with the command:

bash
   pip install prefect-aws

3. Register Blocks: The

ECSTask

and

AwsCredentials

blocks must be registered within the agent environment. You can register them with the command:

bash
   prefect block register -m prefect_aws.ecs

4. Remote Storage: You must configure remote storage, as local storage isn't compatible with ECS. The documentation does not explicitly state a specific type of VPC that needs to be supplied to the

ECSTask

function, but it implies that all necessary ECS and AWS configurations need to be in place. You may want to ensure: - Your ECS service has the correct permissions. - Your VPC is properly configured with public/private subnets if necessary. - Security Groups associated with your task's network configuration allow for the correct outgoing and incoming traffic for task execution. Here is the link where you can find more details and ensure your configuration matches the requirements: Infrastructure Concepts in Prefect. Since your default VPC ID failed and isn't mentioned in these requirements, there might be other configuration issues or missing prerequisites that caused the failure. If the issue persists, consider examining error messages for specific clues or consulting AWS documentation regarding ECS service setup with your VPC.

Hey @Marvin , the ECSTask is created but now I get this error.

RuntimeError: Failed to run ECS task, cluster 'default' not found. Confirm that the cluster is configured in your region.

Seems like I need to create a cluster named

default

It appears that you are facing an error because the ECS task is trying to use a cluster named 'default' which does not exist in the region you have configured. This error is not unique as captured by an open GitHub issue, which suggests that the problem is related to your AWS setup. To resolve this

RuntimeError

, you need to ensure that you have a cluster named 'default' in the AWS ECS service within the same region as specified in your Prefect configuration. If you do not have this cluster, you will need to create it or change your configuration to use the correct cluster name that does exist in your region. Here are the steps to create a new ECS cluster in your AWS account: 1. Open the Amazon ECS console at ECS Console. 2. In the navigation pane, choose

Clusters

. 3. Choose

Create Cluster

. 4. On the

Select cluster template

page, choose the

EC2 Linux + Networking

template or any other that suits your needs, and then choose

Next step

. 5. On the

Configure cluster

page, enter

default

as the cluster name. Configure the other settings as required for your workload. 6. Choose

Create

. Once the cluster with the name 'default' is created in the correct region, try rerunning your Prefect ECS task, and it should be able to find the cluster. Keep in mind that you can also specify a different cluster name in your Prefect configuration if you wish to use an already existing cluster other than the 'default' one. Make sure that the cluster name used in your Prefect configuration matches the name of the cluster in your AWS region. Remember that sometimes things are not as simple as they seem, at least not in my experience. If you still encounter issues, you might have to look into the specific configuration details of your Prefect setup and your AWS account.
