Question

Hi Is there a way to grab the `dagster yaml` values from `init context` My hope is to specify non run specific config in `dagster yaml` and keep it separate from `run config`

Hi Anthony Unfortunately there is no way to retrieve dagster yaml values from `context` object Is there a reason why you need to read from the context object Because you could specify non run specific config in another yaml file and read the config in within an op or resource we offer a utility method here that reads <https github com dagster io dagster blob 4dbfa80c8f5b9fd61880b6d2f574c08a9fe0f28d python modules dagster dagster core definitions utils py L113|config from yaml>

Thanks for the suggestion < claire> gt Is there a reason why you need to read from the context object No specific reason The problem is that `init context instance storage directory ` is too small for my outputs 10 100s of GB so I have a separate ` path to large disk` for larger files logs and stuff still get written to default `storage` However this path gets defined multiple times in my `run config` ``` resources local temp dir config path path to large disk temp my io manager config base dir path to large disk ``` So I m looking for a place within Dagster where I can define ` path to large disk` once but have it available during `resource` init and ops We originally had our own yaml to config object parser but I was hoping there was a more Dagster esque way of doing things
