Custom tasks#

Flytekit ships with an extensible task system to make it easy for anyone to extend and add new task types.

Note

To contribute a new task type, see the prebuilt container task plugins and user container task plugins documentation.

Base task#

`kwtypes`	This is a small helper function to convert the keyword arguments to an OrderedDict of types.
`PythonTask`	Base Class for all Tasks with a Python native `Interface`.
`Task`	The base of all Tasks in flytekit.
`TaskResolverMixin`	Flytekit tasks interact with the Union platform very, very broadly in two steps.
`IgnoreOutputs`	This exception should be used to indicate that the outputs generated by this can be safely ignored.

`PythonFunctionTask`	A Python Function task should be used as the base for all extensions that have a python function.
`PythonInstanceTask`	This class should be used as the base class for all Tasks that do not have a user defined function body, but have a platform defined execute method.

`ShellTask`
`OutputLocation`	Args:

`SQLite3Task`	Run client side SQLite3 queries that optionally return a FlyteSchema object.
`SQLite3Config`	Use this configuration to configure if sqlite3 files that should be loaded by the task.
