@Marvin how can I add an environment variable to a deployment infrastructure override?

To add an environment variable to a deployment infrastructure override, you can include them in the

job_variables

section of your deployment definition within the

prefect.yaml

file. Here is an example:

yaml
deployments:
  - name: demo-deployment
    entrypoint: demo_project/demo_flow.py:some_work
    work_pool:
      name: local
    job_variables:
      env:
        EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT: staging
        MY_NOT_SO_SECRET_CONFIG: plumbus

After adding the environment variables to the

prefect.yaml

file, you can deploy the flow with these job variables by running:

shell
prefect deploy -n demo-deployment

You should then see the job variables in the

Configuration

tab of the deployment in the Prefect UI. If you want to use existing environment variables from your local environment, you can template them in the

prefect.yaml

file using the

{{ $ENV_VAR_NAME }}

syntax. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect documentation.
