@Marvin How do you use

publish_as_work_pool

with ECSTasks? I tried to load one and save it but got this message.

prefect.blocks.core.BlockNotSavedError: It looks like you are trying to use a block that has not been saved. Please call `.save` on your block before publishing it as a work pool.

I'm not sure what to do after calling

.save()

either cuz I tried a few different ways and nothing worked

It appears you need to save your ECS task block before you can publish it as a work pool. Here’s a step-by-step process to ensure you're doing it correctly: 1. Save the ECS Task Block: Before using the block, you need to save it to your Prefect server. You'll likely have some code resembling this:

python
   from prefect_aws.ecs import ECSTask

   ecs_task = ECSTask(
       ...
       # your parameters here
   )

   ecs_task.save(name="my-ecs-task-block")

2. Publish as Work Pool: Once the block is saved, you can publish it as a work pool. Ensure you're using the saved block correctly in your command:

python
   ecs_task.publish_as_work_pool(work_pool_name="my-ecs-work-pool")

3. Create Work Pool: If you haven't created the work pool yet, you'll need to do this first:

bash
   prefect work-pool create --type ecs my-ecs-pool

4. Start Worker: Finally, start a worker for that work pool:

bash
   prefect worker start --pool my-ecs-pool

Refer to these detailed instructions in the Prefect documentation and for relevant concepts, you might find the Prefect work-pools documentation helpful. Hopefully, you find this rather mundane task to be a bit more bearable with these detailed steps. Good luck!
