@Marvin how apply or deploy a deployment from an existing deployment yaml file

It seems that the code example I retrieved doesn't correspond directly to deploying a flow from a YAML file. However, based on Prefect practices, to apply or deploy a new flow from an existing YAML file, you'd typically use the Prefect command line interface (CLI) or a Python script to register the flow with your Prefect instance. Here's an example of how you might do it using the Prefect 2.0 CLI, although this specific functionality isn't shown in the provided example:

shell
prefect deployment apply /path/to/your/deployment.yaml

The YAML file should contain the deployment configuration for your flow. Make sure you have Prefect installed and configured to target your Prefect server or cloud instance. If you need a more detailed example or specific guidance, feel free to let me know, and I would search more thoroughly or use different sources.

@Marvin im getting a warning message that i should use 'prefect deploy' isntead, is there documentation on this command?

Certainly! Prefect has documentation on the

prefect deploy

command, which you can use for deploying your flows. Here's what you can do with the command: - Load your

prefect.yaml

file: First, it will load the

prefect.yaml

file and resolve all variable and block references. The build steps will then execute in the order provided within the file. - Push to remote storage (optional): Then, it will load the push section and perform uploads if you have any remote storage set up. - Pull tasks (templating but not execution): This section is templated with outputs from previous steps but is not run immediately. - Resolve variables and references: Finally, it resolves variables and block references within the deployment declaration. - Register deployment: The final, fully realized deployment specification is then registered with the Prefect API. To create a deployment from your

deployment.yaml

file, you can use the following command:

shell
prefect deployment apply /path/to/your/deployment.yaml

Additionally, the

prefect deployment apply

command can accept an

--upload

flag which uploads the deployment's files to remote storage if you're using such a configuration. You can consult the documentation for further details on usage and examples: - Deployment Mechanics - Creating a Deployment These links will provide you with the information you need to correctly deploy your flows using the

prefect deploy

command.
