Hi, I'm trying to set up the ECS agent without using dynamic flow task definitions (I already have a static task definition specified in the flow's `RunConfig/ECSRun`). When I am trying to start the agent, it tries to build the default parameters for a task definition and fails (since we don't have a default VPC). Is there a way to start the ECS agent without providing a task template and to only rely on the flow configuration instead?

Ah, I forgot that the network configuration is not part of the task definition, that's my mistake.

I’m not sure this is what you’re looking for, but you can start an agent with the `run_task_kwargs` and supply the networking configuration there. <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/ecs.html#custom-runtime-options|Docs>

Yeah, I figured out that it was screaming at me about networking because, well, I didn't give it any info about networking :slightly_smiling_face:

Glad you figured it out :slightly_smiling_face:
