@Marvin how can I increase the amount of memory for my ACI containers defined by prefect.yaml?

To increase the amount of memory for your Azure Container Instances (ACI) in a

prefect.yaml

configuration file, you need to adjust the container create options using the appropriate fields. Here’s a summary based on the documentation for both Prefect 2.x and 3.x: 1. Prefect 2.x: - The container create command, as part of the ACI configuration, includes options like

--cpu

and

--memory

to set the resource limits for your containers (Prefect 2.x ACI Integration). 2. Prefect 3.x: - When configuring an ACI work pool, you typically need to update fields such as

Identities

,

ACRManagedIdentity

, and potentially resource specifications like memory. You would navigate to the Edit page of your ACI work pool to update these settings (Prefect 3.x ACI Worker). ## Example Configuration for

prefect.yaml

Here’s an example snippet on how you might configure it in `prefect.yaml`:

yaml
work_pool:
  name: default-agent-pool
  job_variables:
    container:
      resources:
        requests:
          memory: "4Gi"  # Adjust memory here
          cpu: "2"  # You might want to adjust CPU as well

This snippet specifies the resource requests for memory and CPU for the ACI containers. Make sure to replace the values with the desired memory and CPU limits. If you have specific requirements for how to apply this for your version, please provide further details, and I can guide you accordingly!

@Marvin is the configuration the same for prefect 2 and prefect 3?

No, the configuration for Prefect 2 and Prefect 3 can differ, especially in terms of structure and how resources are defined. The general approach to setting resource limits like memory and CPU in ACI remains similar, but the exact syntax and configuration fields might vary. ### Prefect 2.x Specifics: In Prefect 2.x, most of the resource configurations are done through CLI commands related to Azure or directly within the ACI setup in the Prefect context, rather than in a

prefect.yaml

file. ### Prefect 3.x Specifics: In Prefect 3.x, more comprehensive resource settings can be specified directly within the

prefect.yaml

file for better integration and deployment management. Prefect 3.x encourages using the

prefect.yaml

for defining various infrastructure-specific settings. ### Example for Prefect 3.x: Here’s a more detailed snippet aligned with Prefect 3.x configurations:

yaml
# prefect.yaml
prefect-version: 3.x
name: my-flow
work_pool:
  name: default-agent-pool
  work_queue_name: default
  job_variables:
    container:
      resources:
        requests:
          memory: "4Gi"
          cpu: "2"
      image: prefecthq/prefect:3-python3.10

### Key Differences: 1. Resource Configuration Placement: - Prefect 2.x: Often relies on external CLI commands for resource configurations. - Prefect 3.x: Embeds these configurations within the

prefect.yaml

file for better control and management. 2. Syntax and Hierarchy: - Prefect 2.x can involve direct Azure CLI commands, sometimes external to the

prefect.yaml

. - Prefect 3.x focuses more on defining those parameters directly within the YAML structure. ### Steps to Confirm: To be certain of the exact fields and methods for your specific setup and version, always refer to the official Prefect documentation: - Prefect 2.x ACI Integration: Prefect 2.x ACI Integration - Prefect 3.x ACI Worker: Prefect 3.x ACI Worker Feel free to provide more context or ask further questions if you need detailed step-by-step assistance!

marvin is wrong, the config here should be exactly the same between 2 and 3
