Is it possible to edit the labels on an agent? If not, I suppose as a workaround I could launch a second agent with the desired labels and tear down the original agent.
FYI, I'm reposting this question since it didn't get any answers: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/discussions/4472

How do you deploy the agent?
Something like K8s/ECS would just be editing the environment variable on the container

The agent is deployed on ECS but (looking at the script someone else wrote) it looks like it runs 
prefect agent local start --label ...
on ECS to start the agent. Does that make sense?

Hello Nicholas! Sorry for such delay. You'll have to create a new agent with updated labels. So in your case, you'll need to update the script with new labels.

Ah, @Nicholas Chammas I'd recommend trying to extract the labels out to the environment variable
Copy code
PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__LABELS

Would it make sense to file a feature request to make it possible to edit labels directly (either via the web UI or CLI) on a running agent? With regards to editing 
PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__LABELS
, wouldn't I need to relaunch the agent somehow so it sees the updated environment variable? i.e. It doesn't eliminate the need to take the agent down, right?
c
I think updating it would just restart the process
