@Marvin How do I pass a kubernetes secret as an environment variable during deployment when using

.deploy()

To pass a Kubernetes secret as an environment variable when deploying with

.deploy()

, you would generally need to configure your Kubernetes Deployment manifest file to specify the environment variables that reference Kubernetes secrets. However, based on the information retrieved from the Prefect documentation, there's no direct mention of how to do this specifically within the context of a

.deploy()

call. This suggests that you would have to handle the environment variables at the Kubernetes level. You would typically include environment variables by editing the Deployment manifest YAML file to reference secrets as follows:

yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: my-container
        image: my-image:latest
        env:
          - name: MY_SECRET_ENV_VAR
            valueFrom:
              secretKeyRef:
                name: my-kubernetes-secret
                key: my-secret-key

If you are using Prefect Helm charts, you should add configurations that allow you to include secrets as environment variables within the Helm values that you specify during chart installation. You might want to look at the Kubernetes deployment guide provided by Prefect or their Helm chart documentation for further details on how to achieve this. The concept is the same: You need to tell Kubernetes which secrets to pull and how to serve them to your Prefect deployment.

.deploy()

question, they provide context on deploying with Kubernetes and Docker, which are relevant to the task at hand. To obtain a specific example or further instructions, consulting the Prefect community or official support might be your best course of action, especially as documentation might have evolved to include this feature directly.
