Hi Prefect Community I m trying out the new deployment stora

Question

Hi Prefect Community I m trying out the new deployment storage with a basic helloworld project and the prefect deployment build hangs after creating the manifest This is for an s3 storage block Does anyone have insight

Alex Tam · Answer

Nm it just finished It took quite a long time because it pushed my venv into s3 Is there a way to avoid this Or a recommendation on handling the env This seems more involved than deployments in the beta

Anna Geller · Answer

Hi Alex the easiest way to avoid that problem would be either 1 Switching to conda which doesn t store site packages within your project 2 Changing the directory so that your venv is located in a separate dir than your Prefect project

we are exploring how we may improve this in the future
