Yes, you can execute code from a Docker container as part of a task in your Prefect flow. Here's a general overview of how you can do it: 1. Create a Docker image containing your flow code. Prefect's model allows you to bake your flow code directly into a Docker image. 2. Use Docker-based storage for your flow in Prefect. The following work pools can use Docker containers directly: - Docker - Kubernetes - Serverless cloud-based options: AWS Elastic Container Service, Azure Container Instances, Google Cloud Run 3. Configure your Prefect deployment to use this Docker image. When you run the task in your Prefect flow, the worker will pull the Docker image and spin up a container. 4. The task you define in your Prefect flow will be executed within the context of the Docker container environment containing your flow code. You may refer to the detailed documentation for Deployment and Storage Guide on Prefect docs and Docker guide on Prefect Docker for the specifics on how to set this up, including how to configure your
PREFECT_API_URL
for the flow container to communicate with the Prefect API.
