@Marvin How can I run a flow that is deployed on a workpool in a way that the same exact flow is run on all the worker available in the workpool?

To run a flow on all workers available in a workpool is not a typical use case since Prefect usually handles the distribution of flow runs to workers based on the available capacity of workers and the scheduling of flow runs. When a flow is deployed to a workpool, the general behavior is that each worker in the workpool polls for flow runs and picks them up as they become available, not that an identical flow run is executed simultaneously across all workers. That being said, Prefect does not have an out-of-the-box feature that directly supports the simultaneous dispatch of a flow run to every single worker in a workpool. However, you can potentially achieve similar behavior by scheduling individual flow runs for each worker that you want to utilize—or using another orchestration layer to trigger flow runs targeting your workpool. To manage your deployments and workers, you might want to look into more detailed documentation regarding Prefect deployments: - For general information on how deployments and work pools function with workers in Prefect, refer to Prefect Deployments. - For information on running flows in a certain infrastructure, such as AWS ECS, you can look into the respective integration such as the ECSWorker. If you're trying to achieve a specific effect, such as parallel processing or data sharding, there may be more appropriate solutions using Prefect's task concurrency and parallelism features. You may want to dive deeper into flow design patterns and consider if the task-level parallelism fits your needs. Keep in mind, however, that for more specific recommendations or solutions, you would likely need to look into custom scripting or additional orchestration setups outside of the standard Prefect features.
