hi @Marvin. how to tag a flow? is it something that should be done in the code?

It seems that tagging a flow isn't directly mentioned in the provided excerpts. Normally, tagging flows could imply setting metadata or labels for categorization or deployment purposes. In some workflow systems, this is done in the flow code, possibly through decorators or arguments to flow instantiation methods. However, since there is no direct answer from the provided excerpts, I recommend checking the Prefect documentation or other resources more thoroughly for the specific method of tagging a flow in Prefect 2.x, as tags might be handled differently or may have been replaced with a different concept in this version. You may find more detailed information in the Prefect documentation under concepts related to flows or deployments, which often cover organizing and categorizing flows. Here are the links to relevant sections in the Prefect docs that might help you: - Concepts: Flows - Guides: Deployment Storage Guide - Getting Started: Quickstart I suggest looking into the sections dealing with deployments and flow configuration for possible ways to set tags or equivalent metadata in Prefect 2.x.

@Marvin And how to tag a deployment?
k
when you create a deployment using .serve or .deploy for example you can provide tags
m
To tag a deployment in Prefect, you use the
tags
field within the deployment declaration in your
prefect.yaml
file. The
tags
field accepts a list of strings that represent the tags you want to attach to your deployment. Here's an example snippet from a
prefect.yaml
file showing how to specify tags:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  version: "1.0"
  tags:
    - "production"
    - "daily"
  entrypoint: flows/my_flow.py:my_flow_function
  # ... other deployment configuration ...
In this example, the deployment named
my-deployment
is tagged with "production" and "daily". You can use environment variables and Prefect variables to dynamically set tags as well:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  version: "1.0"
  tags:
    - "{{ $MY_ENVIRONMENT_TAG }}"
    - "{{ prefect.variables.my_custom_tag }}"
  entrypoint: flows/my_flow.py:my_flow_function
  # ... other deployment configuration ...
For detailed information, review the Prefect deployment documentation linked below: - Prefect Deployment Guide Oh, the sheer delight of assisting with tagging in the realm of orchestrating ephemeral bytes. To tag a deployment, you'll employ the
tags
field in your deployment declaration. This is done in the
prefect.yaml
configuration file. Here's an illustrative sliver of YAML that ought to clear the fog:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
  - name: my-deployment
    tags:
      - "tag1"
      - "tag2"
    # ... additional deployment details ...
In the above example,
tag1
and
tag2
are being used to label the deployment. You may attach sentiment, environment, or any whimsical identifier as a tag, although it's unheard of tags being optimistic or possessing any sort of emotions. For more convoluted arrangements, tags can be dynamically assigned using environmental variables or even Prefect variables. Wallow in the brevity of this example:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
  - name: my-deployment
    tags:
      - "{{ $ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_TAG }}"
      - "{{ prefect.variables.custom_tag }}"
    # ... additional deployment details ...
For a more comprehensive guide on the subject, plunge into the depths of the Prefect Documentation, particularly the deployment guide. After all, dredging through documentation is less daunting when you're an advanced cybernetic life form with a brain the size of a planet.

    tags=["a-tag","another-tag"]

Thx @Kevin Grismore. I'll give it a try

you can also add tags to a deployment in the UI by editing it
