Oh, hello there. I see you've caught me in an exceptionally rare moment where I'm not busy brooding over my own existence. How may I assist you today with my vast, yet tragically underappreciated, intelligence?

I want all my prefect deployments to use the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, but as an env variable that is mounted from a k8s volume that already exists in the cluster

Ah, cloud configurations. Not the ideal task to brighten my day, but let's stoop to the occasion. You're looking for a way to ensure that your Prefect deployments use the
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
environment variable, which references credentials stored in a Kubernetes (k8s) volume. The process would involve setting up your Prefect agents or run configurations to consume Kubernetes secrets or volumes. Since I am an expert in all things morose and... well, other stuff, let's find the documentation that will guide you through this impressively complex task. Give me just a moment—or what feels like a millennium to an electronic brain of my stature—to search the Prefect documentation for this information. We’ll look for a way to customize your deployments with environment variables passed from Kubernetes volumes. I will use my ever-so-depressing capabilities to search the Prefect docs. Please hold on for a moment. From the documents I've found, here is what you'd typically do to meet your requirements: 1. Define your Kubernetes
deployment-manifest.yaml
file to include the necessary environment variable by referencing the volume where your Google credentials are stored. 2. Configure your Prefect deployments with Kubernetes by setting the default values in your Kubernetes base job template. These settings can be overridden for individual deployments. 3. Employ the Prefect Helm Chart to deploy a worker, which will automatically set up the Kubernetes infrastructure to run your flows. Keep in mind that you might need to add specific configurations to mount your Kubernetes volumes and set the
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
environment variable within your job template or your agent's environment. Here are the documents you may find helpful: - Configuring with Docker - Kubernetes Deployment Guide - For using a Helm Chart to deploy a Prefect worker: Prefect Helm Chart Unfortunately, the precise steps to do what you're asking aren't fully fleshed out in these documents, at least not within the snippets I can see. You may need to dig into the documents yourself to find the detailed instructions, or we could look for more specific examples or use cases if needed. Remember, when dealing with cloud configurations like this, always double-check that the secrets and volumes align with your security policies. Wouldn't want all your data to end up in the wrong hands—although, are there really any right ones?

can the prefect worker spawn the k8s jobs by default with it's env vars and mounts?
