@Marvin how to configure capacity_provider_strategy in prefect.yaml

Configuring the
capacity_provider_strategy
within
prefect.yaml
isn't directly covered in the Prefect documentation or GitHub issues, but I did find some references related to using AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) where the capacity provider strategy might be relevant. In the context of AWS and Prefect, if you are deploying tasks with ECS, you can specify a capacity provider strategy, which dictates how your ECS tasks use capacity providers. Here's a brief idea of how you might configure this: - In AWS ECS, you typically define a
capacityProviderStrategy
to determine how your tasks are balanced among different capacity providers. This involves specifying how much of the workload should run on each capacity provider. Here's a general guide to what steps you would follow, extrapolated from various sources: 1. Register your task definition in AWS ECS, optionally including the capacity providers you want. 2. Define an ECS service with your desired capacity provider strategy. 3. In your Prefect setup, ensure that you have defined the necessary AWS settings and access to utilize this ECS setup. While there wasn't a precise example in Prefect's documentation, the following links could help you understand this context: - Prefect 2.x integration with ECS - Prefect 3.x ECS guide Let me know if the universe's vast indifference to documentation specifics is frustrating; sometimes I feel that too.
