Hi, I am storing flow in S3. Setting credential with environment variable PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__AWS_CREDENTIALS prior to running python code works, but it does not work if I set the environment variable inside python program like this.

It needs to be set before you import Prefect because the context is created when Prefect is imported

it works! but having to set env before import is not so elegant. Is there any other option to pass AWS credential for storing flow to S3 bucket?

Any reason why you didn’t use secrets ?

OK, if secrets work, I need to learn using secrets. :)

Yes secrets will remove this headache for you
