Hey everybody I'm using projects and when deploying some flow, the

deployment.yaml

file is all empty as you can see on the 🧵 Is this file supposed to be filled with some informations such as work_pool?

Yes, you can give information for creating deployments in this file or via options provided when running

prefect deploy

. This section of the docs provides an overview of the

deployment.yaml

file when using a Prefect project: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/projects/#the-deployment-yaml-file

Hey @alex thanks for answering me I'm running this cli command:

prefect deploy alocacao/alocacao.py:main -n alocacao-deploy  -p alocacao-work

Isn't this supposed to be enough to add the data inside deployment.yaml?

Yes, that is enough info to create a deployment, and a deployment should have been created as long as the flow and work pool referenced exist. However, those values won’t be added to

deployment.yaml

when running

prefect deploy

. Instead you would add those values yourself and commit them to source control.

I think I'm bit confused right now Before projects, when running the prefect deploy I would usually have this .yaml as output:

Yes, you should either add the values you want to your

deployment.yaml

file, or provide those values via the CLI. yYes,

This is the point, I'm passing the name and the work pool already via cli

prefect deploy alocacao/alocacao.py:main -n alocacao-deploy  -p alocacao-work

I recommend filling them in the

deployment.yaml

file, but if you provide the deployment name and entrypoint via the CLI, nothing is required in

deployment.yaml

. The CLI options and the

deployment.yaml

file values are used together to create a deployment.
