Hi @Joe McDonald! Unfortunately, it seems like you’re right that there is no way to pass botocore_config yet through the CLI.

@Kevin Kho do you think it would be prefered to just see if AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS OR AWS_RETRY_MODE are set as environment variables or to read a file like done for kwargs?

The

Config

that we are loading there should not override values that you set otherwise (aka via the AWS config or env variables)

https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/configuration.html#using-the-config-object

As described earlier, there are options used here that will supersede those found in other configuration locations

Is it overriding the strategy? There's a check before it is set to see if it already has a value

So you initialize a blank

Config

since from CLI I can’t load botocore_config, then since it is blank there is no retry mode, so it sets it to

standard

. I want it set to

adaptive

I see. Passing these things from the CLI is pretty hard because AWS wants specific python types for each parameter. Instead, I've added this fix https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/4417

Right now we are using the prefect docker container in ECS and have been trying to avoid having to roll our own so that we can update easy from docker hub just changing version number and everything is being passed in via environment and cmd
