10/27/2022, 3:20 PMHi Team, Is it possible to run an agent for two different workspaces for one container? Can we have multiple profiles inside a container? I don't think it is possible, because the Prefect CLI will be pointing to a specific workspace, but I thought I'd ask instead of just spinning up two ECS instances.

ECS tasks (and really containers in general) are meant to run one process/application so I would recommend to run one container/ECS task for each agent corresponding to each workspace

AWS best practice is to use different AWS accounts to separate dev and prod environments and this would be easy to accomplish if you would leverage a separate Prefect Cloud workspace each corresponding to a different AWS environment
makes also things much easier to test due to environment parity and separation

everything is possible in theory, the question is: "should you do it, though" 😂

much easier to have a separation between environments/containerized processes
