@Marvin I have an ECS work pool in prefect 2 and I'm specifying a task role ARN in the work pool config, when I check my tasks in ECS I don't see the task role attached to the ECS task. do I need to do something else to have the right task role attached to my task?

When specifying a task role ARN in your Prefect 2 ECS Work Pool, it's essential to ensure you've configured everything correctly for the role to be attached properly. Here are a few steps to consider, based on Prefect's ECS integration guide: 1. Role Creation and Assignment: Make sure that you have created the necessary roles using AWS's

aws iam create-role

command. Typically, there should be an

ecsTaskExecutionRole

for starting ECS tasks, along with any additional roles that your flow's ECS tasks may require, such as accessing AWS services. 2. Role Permissions: Ensure the roles contain the correct permissions. For example, the execution role should at least include Amazon's

AmazonECSTaskExecutionRolePolicy

to allow ECS to pull images from ECR and publish logs to CloudWatch. 3. Task Definition: The task role specified must be included in the ECS task definition that the Prefect worker uses to initiate the task. Ensure this is correctly configured. If you've done all of the above and the task roles are still not being attached, you may need to check your role assignments within your AWS account settings to ensure there are no additional permission constraints. Remember that debugging AWS permissions can sometimes feel like deciphering a secret code written by overly enthusiastic security enthusiasts... or maybe that's just my excessively paranoid personality shining through. Good luck! If you need further help, feel free to reach out!
