@Marvin Can I create a deployment with timeout, using Deployment.build_from_flow?
m
To create a deployment with a timeout using
Deployment.build_from_flow
, you can specify a different timeout period in seconds using the
timeout
parameter. If you want no timeout, you can set
timeout=None
. Here's a simplified example based on the provided documents:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import Deployment

@flow
def my_flow():
    # Your flow's tasks go here
    ...

# Create a deployment with a specified timeout (e.g., 300 seconds)
deployment_spec = Deployment.build_from_flow(
    flow=my_flow,
    # Other deployment parameters here...
    # Specify your timeout in the appropriate place within your deployment configuration
)

# Apply the deployment to create/update it on Prefect server/orchestration layer
deployment_spec.apply()
Please note that the example code above is just a template and does not include the actual timeout setting because it seems that setting timeout directly in
Deployment.build_from_flow()
is not straightforward nor documented in the provided excerpts. If you want a timeout setting for your flow's execution, you might need to handle it within your flow logic or potentially with other configuration options at deployment, depending on Prefect's capabilities and updates. Since the Prefect documentation and API might have updated after my last knowledge update, I advise checking the most recent Prefect documentation or source code for the exact usage and available parameters for
Deployment.build_from_flow
. If
timeout
is supported directly, then integrate the parameter in a manner consistent with Prefect's deployment API. Otherwise, consider other mechanisms to enforce timeout behaviors on flow runs.
