04/14/2020, 12:43 PMHow are you running the agent? CLI, FargateAgent.start(), etc.? I just completed a run using strings to verify it was working

04/14/2020, 12:43 PMI had upgraded the agent to prefect 10.1 from 0.7.1

josh
04/14/2020, 12:43 PMOh big upgrade!

Adam Roderick
04/14/2020, 12:44 PMHeh yes probably a no no
Adam Roderick
04/14/2020, 12:44 PMHere is the command that starts the container in ECS

josh
04/14/2020, 12:44 PMYeah there was definitely some configuration change between those versions 😅

Adam Roderick
04/14/2020, 12:59 PMYeah. I migrated our setup to use the Dockerfile method to register the flows. Previously we were using the base Docker image method
Adam Roderick
04/14/2020, 1:00 PMI upgraded our prefect dependencies and didn't think about how much change there must have been regarding the agent
Adam Roderick
04/14/2020, 1:00 PMIn summary, changing the CPU and Memory values to integers resolved this
