@ancient-wolf-19325 how would i return the pod id from a current flyte task

The Flyte documentation I have ingested does not mention how to return the Kubernetes pod ID (or pod name) from within a currently running Flyte task. If you are looking to access the pod's identity, you might want to clarify whether you need the pod name, UID, or some other identifier, and whether you want this information for logging, debugging, or as part of the task's output. If this doesn't help, please reach out to the Flyte support team for further assistance. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 id love to see the pod name or the uid

There is no documented Flytekit API or built-in Flyte feature to directly return the pod name or UID from within a running Flyte task. However, since Flyte tasks run as containers in Kubernetes pods, you can access the pod name and UID using the Kubernetes Downward API by reading the environment variables

HOSTNAME

(for pod name) and, if configured,

POD_UID

(for pod UID) from within your task code. This is not Flyte-specific but is standard Kubernetes behavior. The Flyte docs do not mention automatic injection of pod UID as an environment variable, so you may only reliably get the pod name via

os.environ["HOSTNAME"]

in Python tasks. Pod UID would require additional Kubernetes configuration not covered in the Flyte docs. Would you like a code example for accessing the pod name in a Flyte task?
