Prefect Community

Hello all!

Is there a recommended way to install and run the Prefect agent in non-local environments? I see references to e.g. `prefect agent kubernetes install` but that seems to be v1.x only…

You can refer to the docs about infrastructure <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/infrastructure/|here>

You might find this <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-can-i-run-my-flow-in-a-docker-container/64|recipe on Discourse> for using Prefect 2.0 with Docker to be helpful, too.

<@U03GUVCV8DS> those docs assume an already-running agent though right?

<@U03KWSKFN8L> I think the examples in that Discourse topic also assume a running agent?

I appreciate the pointers, but haven't even gotten to the point of trying to run Deployments yet :grimacing:

The <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/work-queues/#agent-overview|Agent> docs imply it's on me to stand up a properly-configured agent as a first step – I'd like to do so in my k8s cluster, but happy to try other options if they're easier

You might find <https://youtu.be/QBLcLXulR9w|this video> useful. There are also two other videos in the playlist showing how to set up Prefect with Kubernetes

Thanks <@U03GUVCV8DS>! That works :+1:

Would be great to have this documented some time, or point at the videos – they're helpful
