Sure, it's already enabled. I noticed in the ClearML agent configuration another parameter related to environment caching, named as venv_update (I believe it's still in beta). Do you think enabling this parameter significantly helps to build environments faster?

Yes, I guess. Since pipelines are designed to be executed remotely it may be pointless to enable an output_uri parameter in the PipelineDecorator.component . Anyway, could another task be initialized in the same script where the pipeline is called, so it would be the main task and the output_uri could be retrieved from all steps via task = Task.current_task(); task.get_output_destination() combo?
