Question on running Prefect Agents: I have several jobs that run on Prefect. These jobs run within docker containers using infra blocks. Right now I run the agents like this

prefect agent start --pool default-agent-pool --work-queue default

I am curious what you all recommend on running prefect agents. I ran a Prefect agent as a script on an ec2 container but I it stopped after a while. I would want the agent to always be running so I know when my UI submits a job, there is someone that will execute those jobs. Please share any best practices to run agents reliably

Hey Chandan, to run the Prefect agent in the background on an EC2 instance, I believe you can use systemd. Here's post that I shared with another user trying to accomplish a similar setup. Hope this helps!

Running as a service like Bianca said is probably the best approach. You could also run it in a tmux session so that you can always activate the session and see the activity

Nice, thanks @Bianca Hoch and Aaron. Ill check it out
