Hi, I’m following the instructions in this great article on using ECS. I’m now setting up a custom docker image to run dbt (I’m assuming I can’t use

DbtShellTask

because dbt wouldn’t have been installed). It’s coming back with an error where I need to specify a

execution_role_arn

in the

ECSRun

which I’ve now done, but can I use the previously defined role, or do I need to define something else? Thanks!

You can just add the dbt library to the image. If you don’t want to make your own image, you can just use the base prefect image and add the env var

EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

which takes in packages to install. You can find that here , only works if you use the base prefect image. But could you show me the ECSRun code? Just remove sensitive info

this post seems to answer your question

Fantastic! Thanks both. I actually managed to get it working using the initial post. I’d just skipped a step somehow. I also didn’t know about the

EXTRA_PIP_PACKAGES

env var, so that’s super helpful to know. Thanks
