does anyone have an example of what CI/CD should look like with prefect 2.0’s new deployments? and should i be committing deployment yamls and manifests to source control?

Hey Chris!! Anna has some great examples of deployments in AWS and GCP here: https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-deploy-prefect-2-0-flows-to-aws/1252 https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-deploy-prefect-2-0-flows-to-gcp/1251 These are great solutions for storing and referencing your deployment YAML files in AWS/GCP storage. We will have some content coming out soon related to setting up CI/CD with some best practices.

thanks @Rob Freedy! it’s not clear what a generic deployment process would look like.

prefect deployment build

is specific to a flow, and while it does create the deployment yaml and manifest, it also pushes code to remote storage, which is effectively a code deploy, making it available to active flows, so i wouldn’t want to do that pre-merge to main. which makes me think that committing the deployment yaml manifest and yaml is not a best practice.

We'll be releasing some generic recipes over the next couple of weeks to help clear this up: https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CKNSX5WG3/p1659463045886269
