@Marvin I have an ECS cluster defined using Terraform. I would like to pass some of the outputs to my Prefect work pool, such as the
cluster
and
vpc_id
. How can I do so programmatically? For example, by using the Prefect Terraform provider?

To programmatically pass outputs such as
cluster
and
vpc_id
from Terraform to your Prefect work pool, you can use the Prefect Terraform provider. The process involves capturing the outputs from Terraform and then utilizing the Prefect Terraform provider to set these values in Prefect. Here's a step-by-step outline: 1. Define the Terraform Outputs: Ensure your Terraform configuration file outputs ECS cluster and VPC ID.
Copy code
hcl
   output "ecs_cluster" {
     value = aws_ecs_cluster.my_cluster.id
   }

   output "vpc_id" {
     value = aws_vpc.my_vpc.id
   }
2. Use the Prefect Terraform Provider: You can use the Prefect Terraform provider to create and configure the work pool. Below is an example of how you can set up the Prefect Terraform provider and use the outputs.
Copy code
hcl
   provider "prefect" {
     # configuration of the Prefect provider such as API keys, etc.
   }

   resource "prefect_work_pool" "ecs_pool" {
     name = "my-ecs-work-pool"
     
     # Other configurations as necessary
     creation_attrs = {
       ecs_cluster = aws_ecs_cluster.my_cluster.id
       vpc_id      = aws_vpc.my_vpc.id
     }
   }
3. Capture and Use Outputs: Ensure that the captured outputs are correctly referenced in your Prefect configuration.
Copy code
hcl
   resource "prefect_work_pool" "ecs_pool" {
     name = "my-ecs-work-pool"

     creation_attrs = {
       ecs_cluster = "${output.ecs_cluster.value}"
       vpc_id      = "${output.vpc_id.value}"
     }
   }
