hi folks! I think I'm having a mental disconnect, coming from temporal.io I've created an ECS cluster with a long running agent that's happily registered. I'm not trying to register a task, and a flow. However, when I try register it using

flow.register("pulumi_test", set_schedule_active*=False*)

it sets the flow to only run locally. More in 🧵

I think you need a RunConfiguration set to use ECSRun to point to your Cluster. You also then need to store the Flow somewhere the ECS task can pull it. You can see Anna’s article here on how to get a Flow running on ECS

You also then need to store the Flow somewhere the ECS task can pull it

Okay, I think that's the missing piece I've defined some run configuration like so:

flow.run_config = prefect.run_configs.ECSRun(image="pulumi/pulumi:latest", labels=["ecs", "fargate"])

but it keeps adding the local hostname label when I run the code locally

Ah because the default Storage is local storage so you can use something like Github or S3 instead. For testing, public Github is easiest. For S3, you need to give appropriate IAM permissions to the ECS task

okay, think I'm following now, thanks so much for the help! I'll give it a try

Also, if you are testing, the base prefect image is

prefecthq/prefect

, which might reduce the number of possible errors
