Hi everyone! I have the following issue, that I cannot seem to set the secret api key correctly inside the agent: I have verified with this: kubectl get secret api-key --namespace prefect2 -o jsonpath='{.data.prefect_api_key}' | base64 --decode This is done in Azure following Cristopher Boyd:

Hi Parwez, it looks like you have the secret set, but not the API url
Copy code
env:
            - name: PREFECT_API_URL
              value: <http://orion:4200/api>
            - name: PREFECT_API_KEY
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: api-key
                  key: prefect_api_key
so it;s trying to use a secret API key, but not pointing to the cloud API url

Also @Parwez Noori, could you move the body of this message and the config file code block to this thread and remove it from the main message? It helps us keep the main community page tidy. 😄

Hi Christopher, Thank you for your recent video! It was really awesome and has contributed to where we currently are with prefect. That was actually the old version. The new version that I have deployed says, as in your video:

I still get this error from the agent:

Hi @Bianca Hoch I have done that now. Please let me know if anything else 😄
@Christopher Boyd what is the advantages of running prefect with orion and agent in kubernetes instead of running an vm and connect that to the prefect cloud? Would you still need to run an instance of Orion as well, if you run vm and prefect cloud?

@Parwez Noori -

Should be https://api

I think that was an oversight I had in my video when doing the copying and pasting and I didn’t get a chance to update it

Sorry about that!
As for context with kubernetes and vm, it’s a much smaller footprint, and adds the resiliency / reliability to quickly modify the deployment
Regarding with Orion, do you mean prefect server vs prefect cloud? If you have Prefect cloud, you just need the default manifest with the API and agent
otherwise, yea, you could deploy the Orion configuration, then you wouldn’t need an API key or API url

@Christopher Boyd Thank you a lot! It has now been solved and I'm connected. I have been sitting with the issue the whole day.

Sorry about that 😞

No worries, Chris. Thank you a lot for your help! 😄
@Christopher Boyd I also figured out that the error you had occured because of the infrastructure-block definition. When I include the tag "-ib kubernetes-job" I get the same error, however, when not included it gets deployed. I have not investigated the error any further. My question is that, if it gets deployed as a process instead of a kubernetes-job, you would not be able to leverage your kubernetes cluster for splitting the jobs up for multiple pods? Is that correctly understood and is there any other disadvantages for running it as a process?
c
Hi Parwez, that was an oversight on my part and really more of just a small typo. -ib for infrastructure block is used for pre-defined templates and jobs, while -i is just kubernetes-job
The idea being, you could run it the first time with -i, figure out that you are going to need something repeatable for your deployment definition (for other deployments), and create a block out of it. Then that block could be used with -ib instead
