I also a little lost here the changes for deployment I feel like it gone too much in favour of UI CLI and is ignoring the code pythonic way of setting things up The concept of storage block also get confusing because even the UI doesn t implicitly classify anything as a storage block There is no filter for storage block What if i create Local File System storage block Is that a valid input for deployment build I tried it using the format type lt block name gt it couldn t find it
