Prefect Community

Hi,
We have been using self deployed prefect 2.8.4 for a very long time and want to switch to prefect cloud. What will be the best way for us to do that? Any guides available? Don't know how cloud works, if we need our infra or not. If yes, then how do we use gcp cloud run to do that.
Current self hosted setup was running in AWS k8s.

You'll still need your own infra, and since you're already running containers as jobs, your cloud run setup will be pretty similar. The main thing that changes with Cloud is that you won't need to run a Prefect server anymore, plus a long list of additional features. As such, the address of the API will be different.

For local runs, you can <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/getting-started/quickstart/#step-2-connect-to-prefects-api|set this up> with `prefect cloud login` after making an account, and your `PREFECT_API_URL` and `PREFECT_API_KEY` <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/settings/#prefect_api_url|will be different> wherever workers and flows are running. I recommend setting up a free prefect cloud account and giving the <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/deployment/push-work-pools/#__tabbed_1_3|Cloud Run push> work pool a try.
