2. Using Task Customizations in the ECS Work Pool
Here's how to implement this:
### Method 1: Using Infrastructure Overrides (Recommended)
When calling run_deployment, you can provide infrastructure overrides to modify the CPU and memory settings:
python
from prefect import get_client
async with get_client() as client:
deployment_id = await client.create_deployment_flow_run(
deployment="your-deployment/name",
infrastructure_overrides={
"task_customizations": [
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": "1024"},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": "2048"}
]
}
)
Or using the CLI:
bash
prefect deployment run 'your-deployment/name' \
--override 'task_customizations=[{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": "1024"}, {"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": "2048"}]'
### Method 2: Using Task Customizations in Work Pool
You can also configure your ECS work pool to accept these customizations:
1. First, create your ECS work pool with the base configuration
2. When creating your deployment, specify the task customizations:
python
from prefect.deployments import Deployment
from prefect_aws.ecs import ECSTask
ecs_block = ECSTask(
task_customizations=[
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": "1024"},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": "2048"}
]
)
deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(
flow=your_flow,
name="your-deployment-name",
infrastructure=ecs_block
)
### Important Notes:
1. The values for CPU and memory must be valid for Fargate. Here are the valid combinations:
- CPU (vCPU) values: 256 (.25 vCPU), 512 (.5 vCPU), 1024 (1 vCPU), 2048 (2 vCPU), 4096 (4 vCPU)
- Memory values must be appropriate for the CPU value selected
2. When using task customizations, make sure your ECS task role has the necessary permissions to modify these settings.
3. The changes will only apply to the specific run you're initiating, not to the base task definition.
4. If you're using the infrastructure overrides method, these will take precedence over any settings in your task definition.
### Best Practices:
1. Always validate the CPU and memory values before submitting them to ensure they're valid Fargate configurations.
2. Consider setting up error handling to catch cases where invalid combinations are provided.
3. Monitor the task's CloudWatch logs to ensure the new resource configurations are being applied correctly.
This solution allows you to dynamically change the CPU and memory configurations for individual flow runs while maintaining a single work pool and task definition. The infrastructure overrides method (Method 1) is generally more flexible and easier to manage programmatically.
Would you like me to provide more specific examples for your use case or clarify any part of these solutions?Srinivas Kandukuri

07/16/2025, 3:54 AMrun_deployment() to override the CPU and memory for a single flow run. Here are two ways to do it:
### Method 1: Using Python async/await
python
from prefect import get_client
async with get_client() as client:
flow_run = await client.create_deployment_flow_run(
deployment="your-deployment/name",
infrastructure_overrides={
"task_customizations": [
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": "1024"},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": "2048"}
]
}
)
### Method 2: Using Python synchronous code
python
from prefect.client.orchestration import get_client
from prefect.context import get_client_from_context
def run_deployment_with_resources(deployment_name, cpu, memory):
client = get_client_from_context()
flow_run = client.create_deployment_flow_run(
deployment=deployment_name,
infrastructure_overrides={
"task_customizations": [
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": str(cpu)},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": str(memory)}
]
}
)
return flow_run
# Example usage
flow_run = run_deployment_with_resources(
deployment_name="your-deployment/name",
cpu="1024", # 1 vCPU
memory="2048" # 2 GB
)
### Important Notes:
1. Valid CPU Values for Fargate:
- "256" (0.25 vCPU)
- "512" (0.5 vCPU)
- "1024" (1 vCPU)
- "2048" (2 vCPU)
- "4096" (4 vCPU)
2. Memory Values:
- Must be appropriate for the CPU value selected
- Specified in MB (e.g., "2048" for 2GB)
- Must be a valid Fargate configuration
3. Values as Strings:
- Note that the CPU and memory values must be passed as strings in the task customizations
4. Single Run Only:
- These overrides will only apply to this specific flow run
- The base task definition remains unchanged
- Subsequent runs will use the default values unless overridden again
### Example with Error Handling:
python
from prefect.client.orchestration import get_client
from prefect.context import get_client_from_context
def validate_fargate_resources(cpu: str, memory: str) -> bool:
valid_cpu = ["256", "512", "1024", "2048", "4096"]
if cpu not in valid_cpu:
raise ValueError(f"CPU value must be one of {valid_cpu}")
# Add any additional validation logic for memory based on CPU
return True
def run_deployment_with_resources(deployment_name: str, cpu: str, memory: str):
try:
# Validate the resources first
validate_fargate_resources(cpu, memory)
client = get_client_from_context()
flow_run = client.create_deployment_flow_run(
deployment=deployment_name,
infrastructure_overrides={
"task_customizations": [
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/cpu", "value": cpu},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/overrides/memory", "value": memory}
]
}
)
print(f"Flow run created with CPU: {cpu} and Memory: {memory}")
return flow_run
except ValueError as e:
print(f"Invalid resource configuration: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error creating flow run: {e}")
# Example usage
flow_run = run_deployment_with_resources(
deployment_name="your-deployment/name",
cpu="1024",
memory="2048"
)
### To verify the changes:
1. After starting the flow run, you can check the ECS console to verify the task is running with the specified CPU and memory values
2. The flow run logs in the Prefect UI will also show the infrastructure configuration being applied
3. CloudWatch logs for the ECS task will reflect the new resource allocation
