Prefect Community

:wave: Hey all!

We’ve just published a new release candidate of `prefect-aws` that includes an improved ECS worker and a new `prefect-aws` CLI to simplify deploying an ECS worker. :tada:

The improved ECS worker is designed to be more resilient and reduce the chances of flow runs getting stuck in the RUNNING state.

:rocket: You can deploy the new worker to an ECS cluster using the new `prefect-aws` CLI (see the <https://docs.prefect.io/integrations/prefect-aws/ecs-worker#with-the-prefect-aws-cli|docs> for details).
 :wrench: If you’d like to upgrade an existing worker, install `prefect-aws==0.6.0rc1` (or pull a `0.6.0rc1` <https://hub.docker.com/r/prefecthq/prefect-aws/tags?name=0.6.0rc1|Docker image> from `prefecthq/prefect-aws`), set up an SQS queue with `prefect-aws ecs-worker deploy-events`, and configure the `PREFECT_INTEGRATIONS_AWS_ECS_OBSERVER_SQS_QUEUE_NAME` environment variable on your worker.

We’d love for folks to give it a try and share feedback! If you encounter any issues, please drop a message here or open an issue in GitHub, and we’ll be happy to help.
