    Hi, everyone. Unfortunately, some Prefect Cloud logs received from 12:55 EST to about 4:15 EST today have been lost due to an infrastructure issue. The issue has been resolved and all flow run logs after that time are available. We apologize and we'll keep you up-to-date - you can follow the status on https://prefect.status.io/.

    Hi everyone! We're going to release Prefect
    2.0b6
    tomorrow evening with some impressive albeit breaking changes to Prefect 2.0 πŸ˜›refect2:, among others: β€’ We've added Windows support. β€’ We've added breaking changes with respect to the Blocks API - this API is an important abstraction you may have used already in the
    flow_storage
    part of your
    DeploymentSpec
    . As a result, the
    2.0b6
    API is incompatible with previous Orion client versions. Since "breaking changes" sounds dangerous, the good news is that your data will be migrated (for all users). After the open-source release, we will update Cloud 2.0 :cloud2:. Again, your data will remain intact, but you will immediately need to upgrade to
    2.0b6
    to continue using the Cloud API. Thanks everyone, and we'll keep you up to date once the release is complete.

    Hey everyone! We want to make an open call for PrefectLive πŸ“Ί guests. We know that community members want to learn about what OTHER people in the community are up to: β€’ how are they using Prefect πŸ˜›refect: β€’ what other tools are they using β€’ what are their personal best practices If you're interested in coming on PrefectLive to show off how you use Prefect (or anything else), we'd love to have you. Just shoot me a DM here and we can figure out a day that works for you.

    <!here> Hi, Prefectionists! We've just released the
    2.0b6
    version of Prefect 2.0! We apologize for the delay, but we promise it was well worth waiting for due to a number of exciting changes! πŸŽ‰ We're so grateful for the fountain of feedback we've received about Prefect 2.0. One of the themes in feedback was that the Orion UI didn't reflect the same clarity and elegance that the rest of Prefect 2.0 did. We agreed! Today, we're proud to share a completely redesigned UI. It's simpler, faster, and easier to use. Give it a spin! This release includes several other exciting changes, including Windows support. Note that this release makes a breaking change to the Blocks API - an important abstraction you may have used already in the
    flow_storage
    part of your
    DeploymentSpec
    . As a result, the backend API in
    2.0b6
    is incompatible with previous Orion client versions. After the upgrade, your data will remain intact, but you will need to upgrade to
    2.0b6
    to continue using the Cloud 2.0 API. You can upgrade in just a few simple steps: β€’ Install the latest Prefect 2.0 python package:
    pip install -U "prefect>=2.0b6"
    β€’ Restart any existing agent processes β—¦ If you are using an agent running on Kubernetes, update the Prefect image version to
    2.0b6
    in your Kubernetes manifest and re-apply the deployment. β—¦ You don't need to recreate any deployments or pause any schedules - stopping your agent process to perform an upgrade may result in some Late Runs, but those will be picked up once you restart your agent. Kudos to the UI team and everyone else behind this release, including our contributors! πŸ‘ We will release this new version to Cloud 2.0 in about an hour. We'll let you know again once the upgrade to :cloud2: is complete. Happy engineering!

    Hi all, just an update on ☝️ - Cloud 2.0 release is complete. Once you upgrade your agent, everything should work as before. Please post in #prefect-community if you have any issues with the upgrade. In case you wonder about the UI: β€’ the UI changes are not yet published to Cloud 2.0 - for now, only the backend API got upgraded, β€’ if you want to play around with the brand new UI, you can spin up a local Orion instance. Here is a sneak peek of the UI showing the most vivid duck! :marvin-duck:

    πŸ‘‹ Hi all - Will here from the Product team at Prefect πŸ˜›eople_hugging: Today, we’re excited to announce the release of workspace collaborators in Prefect Cloud 2. πŸ‘­ Workspace collaborators can do all the day to day orchestration work you’d expect - manage deployments, inspect flow runs, create work queues, but can’t perform administrative actions like editing workspace metadata or adding other collaborators. Beta users can add up to three collaborators for free! 🀝 To add a collaborator, navigate to the new workspace collaborators menu item in the sidebar from within a workspace. πŸ’™ Try it out and let us know what you think!

    πŸ‘‹ Hello Prefectionists - we’ve just released the
    2.0b7
    version of Prefect 2.0! Thank you all again for the continued feedback. Exciting updates in this release include β€’ Fixes for running the Orion UI on Windows β€’ Adding a color select in the Orion UI, enabling users to change their state color scheme β€’ Added anonymous blocks, allowing Prefect to dynamically store blocks for you without cluttering your workspace β€’ Performance enhancements β€’ and more … !! As a result of ongoing upgrades to Blocks, the backend API in `2.0b7`is incompatible with previous Orion client versions. After the upgrade, your data will remain intact, but you will need to upgrade to `2.0b7`to continue using the Cloud 2.0 API. You can upgrade in just a few simple steps: β€’ Install the latest Prefect 2.0 python package:
    pip install -U "prefect>=2.0b7"
    β€’ Restart any existing agent processes β€’ If you are using an agent running on Kubernetes, update the Prefect image version to `2.0b7`in your Kubernetes manifest and re-apply the deployment. β€’ You don’t need to recreate any deployments or pause any schedules - stopping your agent process to perform an upgrade may result in some Late Runs, but those will be picked up once you restart your agent.

    Hi everyone, We are currently in the holiday season πŸ–οΈ and working intensely on the Perfect 2.0 GA release planned for this summer. Community Support may be slow and limited in scope this month (July 2022). You may contact our paid support at cs@prefect.io if you have some mission-critical issues. I will be available to answer any of your questions during Office Hours between 7 and 9 AM EST (see my Slack status for the current availability). You may post your question anytime, but we will get back to you when we are available. To make it easier to get help during Office Hours: β€’ Check the docs and Discourse whether it already provides the information you need β€’ Make it clear whether your question is about Prefect 2.0 or Prefect 1.0 β€’ Specify the problem rather than the feature or solution you tried. Focusing on a problem allows discussing many ways to solve it rather than focusing on a single approach you may have tried so far. β€’ Define your issue as precisely as you can: β—¦ explain your use case/problem in the main message, β—¦ in the thread🧡, provide as many details as possible about: β–ͺ︎ your environment (Cloud or self-hosted, the output of
    prefect version
    in 2.0 and
    prefect diagnostics
    in 1.0, your agent/storage setup, etc.), β–ͺ︎ at which stage you are in your Prefect adoption, β—¦ and document all steps you have taken so far to solve the issue you are facing in the thread. Thanks for understanding, and huge thanks to all community members helping others during that time! We appreciate you ❀️
