# Remote Access

This module provides utilities for performing operations on tasks, workflows, launchplans, and executions. For example, the following code fetches and executes a workflow:

`python # create a remote object from flyte config and environment variables FlyteRemote(config=Config.auto()) FlyteRemote(config=Config.auto(config_file=....)) FlyteRemote(config=Config(....)) ` Or if you need to specify a custom cert chain (options and compression are also respected keyword arguments) ```python FlyteRemote(private_key=your_private_key_bytes, root_certificates=…, certificate_chain=…)

### fetch a workflow from the flyte backend remote = FlyteRemote(…) flyte_workflow = remote.fetch_workflow(name=”my_workflow”, version=”v1”)

# execute the workflow, wait=True will return the execution object after it’s completed workflow_execution = remote.execute(flyte_workflow, inputs={“a”: 1, “b”: 10}, wait=True)

# inspect the execution’s outputs print(workflow_execution.outputs) ```
