Hi @epicfaace , We agree the startup time with flex template python jobs is an issue. We are are working towards reducing the overall startup time to 3-4 mins by end of this year. We recommend using flex templates instead of classic ones purely for flexibility and also you can leverage more feature expansions in the near future. One of the major objective of flex templates is to avoid using ValueProviders. So, further overloading them with new features is not aligned with the roadmap. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
