Can anyone explain this error message:

Cannot create a project-style deployment with work pool of type 'prefect-agent'.

? Why not? Is there no way to do deployments with

prefect-agent

with a

prefect.yaml

file?

Hey @Eivind Hyldmo! Using

prefect deploy

with a

prefect-agent

work pool isn’t supported because Prefect agents rely on configuring storage and infrastructure blocks, which is not supported via a

prefect.yaml

file. A worker is equivalent to a infrastructure block + an agent, so we recommend picking a work pool type that matches the type of infrastructure block you were planning on using( e.g.

ECSTask

block -> ECS work pool,

KuberenetesJob

block -> Kubernetes work pool).
