@ancient-wolf-19325 What advantages if any does a ShellTask offer over a Task that is uses python subprocess. ShellTask seems to call subprocess
j
ShellTask in Flyte offers several advantages over using a Python task with subprocess: 1. Simplified Logging and Output Handling: ShellTask automatically handles logging and output redirection, ensuring that the outputs are captured and displayed in Flyte logs without additional configuration (source). 2. Ease of Use: ShellTask abstracts away the complexity of managing subprocesses, making it easier to define and run shell commands directly within Flyte workflows (source). Would you like more detail on any specific aspect?
