Docker image instead of the 2-latest
Docker image when you need an image specifically configured for Kubernetes environments. Here's why:
1. Kubernetes-Specific Configuration:
- The 2-latest-kubernetes
image includes specific configurations and dependencies tailored for running within Kubernetes. This might include Kubernetes-native tools, optimized networking settings, and configurations not present in the standard 2-latest
image.
2. Optimized for Kubernetes Workloads:
- It is optimized to handle Kubernetes workloads more efficiently. For example, it might handle scaling, logging, and other Kubernetes-native features more effectively.
3. Reduces Customization Needs:
- Using the Kubernetes-specific image reduces the need for further customization or adjustments to your deployments since it comes pre-configured for Kubernetes use cases.
You can read more details and considerations regarding Docker images in Prefect's documentation:
- Deploying with Kubernetes
- Using Docker Images with Work Pools
This should help you make an informed decision based on your specific deployment environment.Kevin Grismore
