Do prefect have a recommended instance type for the agent in AWS? Is a t2.micro big enough? It's just listening for jobs and sending off task definitions, right? That shouldn't require much computational power...

Hey @Ben Muller, @matta has the same question a couple of messages up. Let’s see what he reports back. He’s trying 2GB. I think a micro might work but am not 100% sure.

It's working well so far!

Yeah, I guess it depends how you use it. If the agent is on a micro, it's probably preferable to run the flows in another cluster with heavier compute?

Oh yeah, this is with the caveat that I'm mostly gonna use Prefect to trigger Cloud Functions and Cloud Run scripts for now.

Ah, right. Different use cases then...

Hi, I deployed an AWS Agent on a micro instance to launch tasks on a ECS cluster it worked well, but I finally chose a bigger instance when I wanted to deploy Prefect Server + my labelling tool on the same instance, so just be careful if there are multitple things on the same instance 🙂

Our agent runs on GKE with limits of 500m cpu / 256Mi mem. I believe it’s not even coming close to utilization. Other services are similarly configured. Only apollo is given more resources (1000m/1500Mi limits)
