I think you can mix and match executor and RunConfig and it should work. Anyway, it would spin up the DaskExecutor as a new Fargate task whether the RunConfig is LocalRun or ECSRun. Does that answer you?

I think the answer is there is no difference because it’s a new process either way

DaskExecutor using FargateCluster. But if you really want one task = one fargate instance, then it’s probably better as subflows that have ECSRun configured on them

I made a mistake in the earlier state. It should be “it would spin up the DaskExecutor as a new ECS cluster” per this

02/21/2022, 5:23 AMIt doesn't have to one task = one farget, but having N instances that can be set somewhere. For example if I set 3 instances, then it would be at most 3 instances, and then shutoff once the task is done.

If you have a flow and 1 specific task needs the cluster, you can use the ResourceManager as well so you really control the spin down.

But the DaskExecutor should shut down after Flow execution too
