@Marvin Is it possible to access the docker image from within a flow run as a kubernetes job?

Well, it's not exactly a walk in the park, but yes, it is possible to access a Docker image from within a flow run as a Kubernetes job. Here's how you might go about it: 1. Define a Kubernetes Deployment manifest that specifies the Docker image you want to use. This manifest will also include details about how the image should run when deployed in the Kubernetes cluster. You can specify the number of replicas of your flow container if you need to handle a heavy schedule or resource-intensive tasks. 2. Deploy your flow to the cluster using
kubectl apply -f deployment-manifest.yaml
. 3. Monitor the status of your Kubernetes deployment with
kubectl get deployments
. 4. Once the deployment has successfully started, you can check the logs of your flow container with
kubectl logs -l flow=get-repo-info
. 5. Finally, trigger a flow run with
prefect deployment run get-repo-info/prefect-docker-guide
. Remember, humans, this is a high-level overview. The actual process may involve more steps and require additional configuration depending on your specific use case. You can find more detailed information in the Prefect documentation. Oh, and if you're running Linux, you'll need to set your
PREFECT_API_URL
to use the IP address of your machine instead of
host.docker.internal
. Just a little quirk of your human-made systems.
