@Marvin provide a example terraform data block for the base_job_template property of a ecs work pool for Prefect 3
m
I wasn't able to retrieve a specific Terraform example for the
base_job_template
property of an ECS work pool. However, let me provide you with a broad structure based on general knowledge of how
base_job_template
is typically set up for ECS in Prefect. Here's an example of a Terraform block that sets up an ECS work pool with a specified `base_job_template`:
Copy code
hcl
resource "aws_ecs_cluster" "example" {
  name = "example"
}

resource "aws_ecs_task_definition" "example" {
  family                   = "example"
  network_mode             = "awsvpc"
  container_definitions    = <<DEFINITION
    [
      {
        "name": "example",
        "image": "example-image",
        "cpu": 256,
        "memory": 512,
        "essential": true
      }
    ]
  DEFINITION

  requires_compatibilities = ["FARGATE"]
  memory                   = "512"
  cpu                      = "256"
  execution_role_arn       = aws_iam_role.example.arn
  task_role_arn            = aws_iam_role.example.arn
}

resource "aws_iam_role" "example" {
  name = "example"
  assume_role_policy = <<POLICY
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Principal": {
            "Service": "<http://ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com|ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com>"
          },
          "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
      ]
    }
  POLICY
}

resource "prefect_ecs_work_pool" "example" {
  name = "example"
  
  base_job_template = jsonencode({
    job_configuration: {
      cpu                        = "256"
      memory                     = "512"
      network_configuration: {
        awsvpc_configuration: {
          subnets         = ["subnet-12345678"]
          security_groups = ["sg-12345678"]
          assign_public_ip = "ENABLED"
        }
      }
      execution_role_arn = aws_iam_role.example.arn
      task_role_arn      = aws_iam_role.example.arn
    }
  })
}
This example outlines the essential components: - An ECS cluster and task definition in AWS. - IAM roles for execution and task roles tied to the ECS tasks. - A Prefect ECS work pool resource that uses
base_job_template
to configure the job settings. For more accurate and updated information, referring to the official Prefect and AWS Terraform documentation is recommended. You might also want to explore Prefect's official example repository on GitHub. Feel free to visit Prefect's official documentation for more detailed and specific use cases.

@Marvin help me understand the path and entrypoint for a flow deployment. I have the following structure: • flows/acquisition/source_a/source_a.py • prefect.yaml
m
To set up a flow deployment with your given file structure: •
flows/acquisition/source_a/source_a.py
prefect.yaml
You need to understand the path and entrypoint parameters in the
prefect.yaml
file. Here's how they work: ### 1. Path The
path
parameter specifies the directory that contains the flow's Python file. ### 2. Entrypoint The
entrypoint
parameter is a relative reference to the function decorated as a flow inside the Python file. It uses the syntax
path/to/file.py:function_name
. ### Example Configuration Given your structure, if the main flow function in
source_a.py
is named
my_flow
, your
prefect.yaml
should look something like this:
Copy code
yaml
name: my-flow-deployment

work_pool:
  name: my-work-pool

deployments:
  - name: source-a-deployment
    path: flows/acquisition/source_a
    entrypoint: source_a.py:my_flow
    parameters:
      param1: value1
      param2: value2
    schedule:
      cron: "0 0 * * *"  # Sample schedule - runs daily at midnight
### Key Points: - path: The path to the directory containing the Python file. - entrypoint: The file name and flow function inside the file. ### Additional Resources: For more details, refer to the official Prefect documentation: - Prefect Concepts - Deployments - Prefect Guide - Prefect Deploy Let me know if you have any other questions!

@Marvin when using that structure, I get no such file or directory exception when running prefect deploy
m
The error you're encountering might be due to misconfigurations in the
path
setting or directory structure. Here's a detailed step-by-step to ensure everything is set up correctly: ### 1. Directory Structure Make sure your directory structure looks like this:
Copy code
project_dir/
|-- flows/
|   |-- acquisition/
|       |-- source_a/
|           |-- source_a.py
|-- prefect.yaml
### 2.
prefect.yaml
Configuration Ensure your
prefect.yaml
file is correctly referencing the correct path and entrypoint. For a flow function
my_flow
inside
source_a.py
, it should look something like this:
Copy code
yaml
name: my-flow-deployment

work_pool:
  name: my-work-pool

deployments:
  - name: source-a-deployment
    path: flows/acquisition/source_a
    entrypoint: source_a.py:my_flow
    parameters:
      param1: value1
      param2: value2
    schedule:
      cron: "0 0 * * *"  # Sample schedule - runs daily at midnight
### 3. Validating the Python File Make sure your
source_a.py
has a flow function defined:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow

@flow
def my_flow():
    print("This is my flow!")
### 4. Running Deployment Command Ensure you're running the deployment command from the root of your project directory (
project_dir
):
Copy code
sh
cd project_dir
prefect deploy -p prefect.yaml
This will ensure Prefect can find the
prefect.yaml
and trace the relative paths correctly. ### Troubleshooting Tips: 1. Check Permissions: Ensure your user has read permissions for all directories and files involved. 2. Absolute Paths: Try using absolute paths in the
path
parameter for debugging purposes. 3. Command Context: Always ensure you're in the right directory context when running deployment commands. For more details, check the Prefect documentation here. If problems persist, providing the exact error message and current configurations might help diagnose the issue further.

@Marvin provide an example deployment that specifies the prefect 3 docker image as a job variable
m
Here's an example deployment configuration in
prefect.yaml
that specifies a Docker image as a job variable for Prefect 3: ### Directory Structure Assuming the following structure:
Copy code
project_dir/
|-- flows/
|   |-- acquisition/
|       |-- source_a/
|           |-- source_a.py
|-- prefect.yaml
###
prefect.yaml
Configuration In this example, the Docker image
my-repo/my-image:my-tag
is used:
Copy code
yaml
name: my-flow-deployment

work_pool:
  name: my-docker-pool

deployments:
  - name: source-a-deployment
    path: flows/acquisition/source_a
    entrypoint: source_a.py:my_flow
    parameters:
      param1: value1
      param2: value2
    job_variables:
      image: "my-repo/my-image:my-tag"  # Docker image specified here
    schedule:
      cron: "0 0 * * *"  # Sample schedule - runs daily at midnight
### File Example (
source_a.py
) Ensure the flow function is defined:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow

@flow
def my_flow():
    print("This is my flow!")
### Steps to Deploy 1. Navigate to your project directory:
Copy code
sh
   cd project_dir
2. Run the deployment command:
Copy code
sh
   prefect deploy -p prefect.yaml
### Summary - work_pool.name: Specifies the work pool to use. - job_variables.image: Specifies the Docker image for the deployment. - path: Path to the directory containing the flow file. - entrypoint: Relative reference to the flow function within the file.
