I’d like to be able to use the

run_task_kwargs_path

for

prefect agent ecs start

as it’s not picking up my VPC (not the default one) but the docs don’t say what format

options.yml

should be in. Saw this issue here, but hasn’t been an update recently https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1653756981241529

Hey Jonathan! You should be able to pass in a yaml file to the cli command using this flag. https://docs-v1.prefect.io/api/latest/cli/agent.html#ecs-start

--run-task-kwargs

Thanks Rob! What should be in that yaml file though?

That yaml file will be variables that are passed to the ECS run_task function. I would recommend setting the networkConfiguration (in yaml format) section that can be found in the AWS documentation and passing it in through the run-task-kwargs argument. You can also specify the task definition template that the agent can use to spin up new ECS tasks using the

--task-definition

option https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_RunTask.html

Thanks Rob!
