Hello everyone, Facing an issue in launching agent in the Kubernetes deployment. I have created the work pool and work queue in my prefect UI. Able to launch agent in my local machine by pointing to the a work pool and work queue that agent is getting started perfectly.

prefect agent start -p <WORK_POOL> --api <WORK_SPACE_API>

But when i try to do the same in the Kubernetes deployment it is not working.

It looks like the agent running in K8s trying to connect to an ephemeral Prefect instance. Did you set

PREFECT_API_URL

and

PREFECT_API_KEY

in the agent's container?

yes, I did set

PREFECT_API_URL

and

PREFECT_API_KEY

in the agent’s container

In that case, I recommend double checking to ensure those environment variables are available inside the container. The behavior you're seeing is what happens if

PREFECT_API_URL

is not set. I just removed my

PREFECT_API_URL

and tried to start an agent and got this:

prefect.exceptions.PrefectHTTPStatusError: Client error '404 Not Found' for url '<http://ephemeral-prefect/api/work_pools/test_work_pool/get_scheduled_flow_runs>'
Response: {'detail': 'Work pool "test_work_pool" not found.'}
For more information check: <https://httpstatuses.com/404>
An exception occurred.

Now I am getting an another follow up error.

At least it's trying to connect to your cloud workspace now 🙂 It looks like there might be a typo in your API URL; I believe it should be

/api/accounts

, not

/api/account

@Ryan Peden , Now the agent is up and running in the k8s You did a great help in identifying this silly issue or silly mistake I made. Thank you sooooo much. 👍😊

You're welcome! I'm happy your agent is running in k8s now 😄
