@ancient-wolf-19325 Can we use
FlyteFile
to write content to a file in "s3 bucket"?
a
Yes, you can use
FlyteFile
to write content to a file in an S3 bucket. The
FlyteFile
type in Flyte supports remote paths, including S3 URIs. When you specify a remote path (e.g.,
s3://my-s3-bucket/path/to/file
), Flyte will handle the upload to the specified S3 location. Here’s a basic example of how you can use
FlyteFile
to write content to a file in an S3 bucket:
Copy code
from flytekit import task, workflow
from flytekit.types.file import FlyteFile

@task
def write_to_s3() -> FlyteFile:
    local_path = "/tmp/local_file.txt"
    with open(local_path, "w") as f:
        f.write("Hello, Flyte!")
    
    remote_path = "s3://my-s3-bucket/path/to/file.txt"
    return FlyteFile(local_path, remote_path=remote_path)

@workflow
def my_workflow() -> FlyteFile:
    return write_to_s3()
This task writes "Hello, Flyte!" to a local file and then returns a
FlyteFile
object pointing to the S3 location where the file will be uploaded. Would you like more details on this or any other aspect of Flyte? Sources: - FlyteFile documentation - Flyte discussion on FlyteFile 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
