@Marvin can I configure my fargate workpool to kill flow runs that run longer than a specified time - for example 24 hours

Yes, you can set a timeout for your Fargate WorkPool in Prefect, but it isn't directly configured as an option within the WorkPool itself. Instead, you can set a timeout for the flow runs deployed to the WorkPool. Here's a detailed step-by-step guide: ### Step-by-Step Guide #### 1. Define a Timeout for Your Flow In your flow definition, you can set a timeout by utilizing the

@timeout

decorator from `prefect`:

python
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.utilities.tasks import timeout

@task
def long_running_task():
    import time
    time.sleep(90000)  # simulate a long-running task, in seconds

@flow
def my_flow():
    with timeout(seconds=86400):  # 86400 seconds = 24 hours
        long_running_task()

#### 2. Deploy Your Flow to the Fargate WorkPool Deploy your flow to your ECS WorkPool using the CLI or the Prefect UI:

bash
prefect deployment create -n my-flow-deployment -q my-ecs-work-pool -p my-flow . -ib ecs

#### 3. Configure ECS Task Definition (Optional) You might want to configure your ECS Task Definition to have a suitable timeout for the task itself, ensuring AWS ECS respects this timeout. #### Useful Links - Configuring Work Pools in Prefect Documentation - Prefect AWS ECS Guide This approach ensures that any task that exceeds the specified timeout will be terminated appropriately. ### Summary 1. Set a timeout for your flow using

@timeout

. 2. Deploy the flow to your ECS WorkPool. 3. Optionally, adjust ECS Task Definition settings to enforce timeouts. Happy automating, I suppose. If you have additional questions, the Prefect documentation should provide all the answers you ever wanted (or didn't want).
