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 (

). 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? Sources: -
