Hey team it seems like workers do not support storage blocks

Question

Hey team it seems like workers do not support storage blocks as I received the error ```Flow run UUID XXXX was created from deployment YYYYY which is configured with a storage block Workers currently only support local storage Please use an agent to execute this flow run ``` Is there going to be support for s3 or github in the workers

Bianca Hoch · Answer

Hi Mitch with workers you can use s3 and github storage It s just accomplished a bit differently compared to using agents + storage blocks You ll define what storage you re using in the `pull` step of your which is part of the new `prefect deploy`

Got it I ll give it a try but it makes the migration a little more difficult

Could you also describe how to create a worker role and assign it to the worker Right now I am a little confused as I seem to be able to give a worker a non worker role however the docs say I should be unable to do so

Also does the flow need to be deployed via the file or just have the file within the same directory as the flow

gt Could you also describe how to create a worker role and assign it to the worker Hmmm I believe the role is assigned to the service account that is used to spin up the worker Are you using service accounts Or are you using your own api key and user profile

gt Also does the flow need to be deployed via the file or just have the file within the same directory as the flow From what I understand the best practice here is to have the prefect yaml in the root of your directory

Bianca Hoch · Answer

And you d point to the flow entry point by providing a path to the flow s file

I think we are going to end up just using an agent instead
