@Marvin whats the best way to using prefect.yaml file on ci/cd pipelines?
m
To get started with using
prefect.yaml
in CI/CD pipelines, here are insights from the latest Prefect documentation: ### Prefect 2.x 1. Overview: - The
prefect.yaml
file is used to store and manage configuration for deploying flows. - This file is typically committed to source control along with your flow code. 2. Structure: - The file includes metadata about the project, build configurations, push steps, and pull configurations. - It commonly integrates Docker steps for building and pushing Docker images. 3. Example Configuration: You can use a basic setup like the following in your `prefect.yaml`:
Copy code
yaml
   name: <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>
   prefect-version: 2.0.0

   build:
   - prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image:
       id: build_image
       requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.1
       image_name: <YOUR_IMAGE_NAME>
       tag: latest
       dockerfile: auto
       platform: linux/amd64

   push:
   - prefect_docker.deployments.steps.push_docker_image:
       requires: prefect-docker>=0.3
This setup builds and pushes Docker images as part of the CI/CD process. ### Prefect 3.x 1. Best Practices: - Prefect 3.x continues to support the
prefect.yaml
file, with extended capabilities for CI/CD pipeline integration. - It emphasizes handling multiple workspaces and project folders within a monorepo. 2. Example Repository Structure: - Use CI/CD workflows to deploy to multiple workspaces. - Organize projects to have their own flows, dependencies, and configuration files (including
prefect.yaml
). For example:
Copy code
.
   ├─ cicd-example-workspaces-prod
   │  ├─ project_1
   │  │  ├─ prefect.yaml
   │  │  └─ ...
   │  └─ ...
3. Workflow Configuration: - Each project folder can have a
prefect.yaml
file with environment-specific configurations. - GitHub Actions or other CI/CD tools can trigger deployments based on branch conditions and changes in project folders. For more detailed examples and advanced use-cases, please refer to the official documentation: - Prefect 2.x CI/CD Guide: Prefect 2.x CI/CD Guide - Prefect 3.x Infrastructure and CI/CD Concepts: Prefect 3.x CI/CD Guide Feel free to copy these examples into your projects and adapt them as needed!
