Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> i have a k8s worker. when i call a sub-flow , does it create an entirely new k8s job?

no, subflows run in process

however if you use `run_deployment`, the resulting flow run will behave like a flow run and will also have whatever infra that deployment has setup

When you call a sub-flow in Prefect using a Kubernetes worker, it indeed creates a new Kubernetes job for that sub-flow. Prefect spins up new infrastructure resources for each flow and sub-flow run.
