Hi folks, I'm pretty new to prefect and exploring its possibilities at the moment. I am trying to upload a file to AWS but I am struggling with all the security details. Where can I find an example that uses the S3Upload task as a step in a workflow?

Hi Egbert! So for that task you currently need two things: - an

ACCESS_KEY

and a

SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

which you can get from your AWS console - once you have those, put them in a dictionary like:

credentials = dict(ACCESS_KEY=my_key, SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=my_secret_key)

- this credentials dictionary now needs to be placed in `prefect.context.secrets`; you can do that directly:

prefect.context.secrets["AWS_CREDENTIALS"] = credentials

- or indirectly by JSON-serializing the dictionary and storing it under the environment variable

PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__AWS_CREDENTIALS=jsonified-dictionary

Thx Chris I'll have a go at it.
