Hi there, I’m confused about how to deployments with a custom image. I have a Prefect Worker running on my Kubernetes cluster. Here is the

deployment.yaml

for my project:

deployments:
- name: my-kubernetes
  version: "0.0.1"
  entrypoint: demo.py:run_demo_prefect
  infrastructure:
    type: kubernetes-job
    image: "docker-repository-url/image-name:tag"
  work_pool:
    name: default
    work_queue_name: default

The worker correctly runs the deployment in a new Kubernetes Job, yet using the default Prefect image instead of the one I have specified. What I’m missing?

Hey Nicholas! It looks like you’re specifying the custom image name under

infrastructure

that the prefect deploy command does not recognize. Instead, you can specify your custom image under

work_pool

like so:

work_pool:
  name: default
  work_queue_name: default
  job_variables:
    image: "docker-repository-url/image-name:tag"

If you’re using the

build_docker_image

step you can use the output from that step to automatically populate that field like this:

work_pool:
  name: default
  work_queue_name: default
  job_variables:
    image: "{{ image_name }}"

Cool, it works! Thank you very much
