Prefect Community

Question here about the new deployment mechanism:
Can I load a storage block from file instead of having to query prefect?
For instance:
prefect deployment build -sb &lt;point_to_file&gt;
I want to remove any failure condition related to networking when using a CI/CD pipeline.

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.

Also struggling with the same issue, <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/examples-showing-infrastructure-blocks-and-deployment-configuration-in-the-latest-prefect-2-0-release-general-availability-and-later/1233|according to this> I guess it’s still possible to configure your deployments in code, but it’s missing how to actually apply them :confused:

thanks for feedback to both of you - creating storage and infra blocks from code is absolutely possible and I started to prepare more content on that - example <https://github.com/anna-geller/prefect-deployment-patterns/blob/main/k8s/customizations/append_commands.py>
