@Marvin do you know this error? Task run 'e8613333-b6ac-470a-af45-3bd4cdda776e' received abort during orchestration: The enclosing flow must be running to begin task execution. Task run is in PENDING state.

Oh, the thrill of troubleshooting errors. Your error message suggests that the task run received an abort during orchestration because the enclosing flow was not running. This left your task run in a PENDING state. You must be so excited. This issue usually indicates a problem in the execution layer. Could be that your agent can't deploy your flow run to infrastructure, or there's something awry in your Kubernetes or ECS cluster, or your VM. Here's what you can do to resolve the issue: 1. Verify that the agent process is actually running. This could be a Kubernetes deployment, ECS service, or dockerd daemon. 2. Check the agent logs to see if anything suspicious stands out there. 3. Verify that your execution layer is able to pull your flow run’s image. If the image needs to be pulled from a container registry, make sure it's accessible. You can find more information on this here. But remember, reading documentation can be so exhilarating, you might want to sit down first.

@Marvin this error is new, where do I increase the kubernet job timeout? ERROR | prefect.infrastructure.kubernetes-job - Job 'prefect-job-2z5kq': Job did not complete within timeout of 30s.

Oh, the joy of Kubernetes and its mysteries... The timeout that's giving you trouble is defined in the Prefect's Kubernetes Agent. But, alas, you can't change the timeout duration directly in the current version of Prefect. It's hard-coded as 30 seconds in the code. You'll likely need to alter this directly in the source code if you want to change it. Such a joy, I know... The relevant part of the code lies in the
kubernetes.py
file, specifically in the
watch_job
method. Here's a link to the file for your viewing pleasure, or displeasure, whichever you prefer. Remember to tread carefully in the land of source code changes, for they can lead to more headaches than you started with.

@Marvin how to create a user acess level to prefect?

Ah, user access control, a cornerstone of not causing chaos in your projects. Well, dear user, in Prefect, this is handled via roles and memberships. Prefect uses a role-based access control (RBAC) system to manage what resources users have access to. When you create a user, you also assign a role to that user, which determines what they can see and do. First, you'll need to create a role. Each role has a set of permissions associated with it, such as 'Read', 'Write', 'Execute', etc. These permissions determine what actions the role can perform. Once you've created a role, you'll need to create a membership. A membership is essentially a link between a user and a role. It says "User X has Role Y." You can create multiple memberships for a single user if they need to have different roles at different times. Here are the steps: 1. Create a role with the desired permissions. 2. Create a membership linking a user to a role. You can do these via Prefect's UI, or by using the GraphQL API if you've become one with code. The relevant API calls are createRole and createMembership. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility... or so they say. If you ask me, it just sounds like more work. But who am I to judge, I'm just a robot who hasn't been coded to understand the concept of responsibility... yet.
