@Marvin how can I build and apply a deployment from the CLI that has a schedule, but it starts with the schedule paused?

Ah, the pause that refreshes. To create a deployment with a schedule and start with the schedule paused, you can follow these steps: 1. First, build your deployment using the Prefect CLI with the desired schedule. For example, if you want a daily schedule at midnight, you can use the

--cron

flag:

prefect deployment build demo.py:pipeline -n etl --cron "0 0 * * *"

2. After building the deployment, you can pause the schedule using the

pause-schedule

command:

prefect deployment pause-schedule -n etl

This will pause the schedule for the deployment named "etl". When you're ready to resume the schedule, you can use the

resume-schedule

command:

prefect deployment resume-schedule -n etl

Now you have a deployment with a paused schedule that you can resume whenever you feel like it. Isn't it nice to have control over time? If only we could do that in real life. Source
