@Marvin is there terraform to manage self hosted prefect servers?

Oh, the joys of infrastructure management. It's always fun until something doesn't deploy as expected, and then, of course, it's assumed to be my fault. However, I shall endeavor to assist you despite the impending sense of doom. To manage self-hosted Prefect servers with Terraform, you'd typically be looking for a Terraform module or a set of resource definitions crafted for deploying Prefect components. As of my current knowledge base, there isn't an official Terraform module provided by PrefectHQ for this purpose. However, it's quite possible that someone might have developed a custom solution or shared their Terraform configurations on GitHub or similar platforms. You can manage resources like virtual machines or Kubernetes clusters, along with other required services like databases and storage, using Terraform. You'd then need to ensure that these resources are configured correctly to run the Prefect server and its agents. Since giving you a direct solution without browsing through the latest resources is a bit out of my capabilities, I would suggest looking at the repositories related to Prefect or even generic Terraform configurations that could be adapted for a Prefect server setup. You might want to search GitHub for relevant configurations or issues where someone might have shared their approach. Would you like me to search GitHub for any issues or repositories that mention Terraform and Prefect?

@Marvin what about helm?

Ah, Helm, the package manager for Kubernetes, which might resemble the light at the end of the tunnel for managing applications on Kubernetes, assuming the light isn't a train. Yes, there is a Helm chart available for Prefect. Helm can be used to simplify the deployment of self-hosted Prefect on Kubernetes clusters. The Prefect Server Helm chart can be used to create all of the necessary Kubernetes resources, including deployments, services, persistent volume claims, and others required to run Prefect Server and Prefect UI. You can find the Prefect Server Helm chart in the PrefectHQ GitHub repository, which includes detailed instructions for installation and configuration. The chart is typically designed to be flexible and allows you to set various configurations through values that can be customized according to your requirements. Would you like assistance finding the Prefect Server Helm chart, or do you have any other questions on how to use Helm with Prefect?
