Prefect Community

Hello! I am using a dask task runner for my flow and I was wondering if it is possible to use the dask cluster to run computations other than running prefect tasks. Is there a way to create a dask client and manually submit work to the cluster? thank you!

Yes definitely! There are some utilities for getting a client from within a task <https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-dask/utils/>

I’m not sure how they work from within the flow itself — there you might just want to create a client using normal Dask techniques? Feel free to open an issue at `prefect-dask` if you run into problems.
