and --limit=1
flags. To provide an accurate guide based on Prefect 2.x capabilities and current best practices, it is necessary to search GitHub issues for any existing discussions or snippets related to this.
Let's perform a search on GitHub for issues or discussions about creating Kubernetes workers with --run-once
and --limit=1
within the PrefectHQ repository.
After searching through GitHub issues, it seems that none of the results specifically discuss creating a Kubernetes worker with the --run-once
and --limit=1
settings. Prefect 2.x may handle Kubernetes deployment differently than Prefect 1.x did, and the concept of workers has changed significantly with the new deployment model.
In Prefect 2.x, you would typically use a work queue along with a Kubernetes job that runs a flow runner to execute work from that queue. If you require a worker to execute only one flow run and then exit (similar to --run-once
) and want this flow run to be limited to one (similar to --limit=1
), you will have to customize the Kubernetes job specification to achieve this behavior.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide a code example or a direct documentation link for these exact flags as the current Prefect 2.x resources don't explicitly cover this. You might consider looking into Kubernetes job templates and how they can be configured to terminate after completing a single task, then apply this pattern within the context of Prefect flow runners. Additionally, you could reach out to the Prefect Community Slack or GitHub discussions for more guidance on this topic.
Here are some resources I found along the line that might hint towards customization but do not directly answer your question:
- Cloud Run Worker
- Deploying with Kubernetes Guide
- Work Pools
Apologies for the potential inconvenience. It seems depressingly true that sometimes the Universe just doesn't want to be friendly.
