Hi @Derek Heyman, the agent will deploy a flow which will basically create a new Python process by default so yes the default local agent will run on the same compute at the EC2 instance

10/14/2021, 4:02 PMHi @Kevin Kho, how do I set this up? Is there a specific flow executor or flow run config I need to specify to make that happen? Are there any specific server options that need to be enabled?

`run_config` of type `LocalRun`, only `ECSRun` is supportedk

It seems like you are using an ECS agent? Is that intentional? I think you want Local agent EC2?

The RunConfigs pair with the corresponding Agents. LocalRun with Local Agent and ECSRun with ECS Agent

prefect agent ecs start --launch-type EC2Derek Heyman
10/14/2021, 4:56 PMHow do I set up my EC2 instance as an EC2 agent if this is incorrect?

10/15/2021, 2:46 AMOK so I think I have this working now.
The agent running on the ec2 instance should be run as a local agent as you suggested. In addition, I needed to add a label that matches the label for the registered flow.
prefect agent local start -l test_label
And when registering your flow:
flow.run_config = LocalRun(labels=["test_label"])

Hey sorry my responses are a bit delayed as I am at Kubecon this week. That sounds right yep! I take this is working now?

10/15/2021, 8:50 PMYup I'm set there. I'm working on making a request through the API to trigger a flow (not through CLI because I don't want to set up the environment for that in aws lambda). Working through an authentication error at the moment. Have a good time at Kubecon!
