To pass specific fields such as the container and folder while initializing a Prefect project with the Azure recipe, you typically use the

prefect init --recipe

command. Here's how you can do it for both Prefect 2.x and 3.x versions: ### For Prefect 2.x: To run the

azure

recipe and specify fields, you should run:

Copy code

sh
prefect init --recipe azure

During the initialization, you’ll be prompted to enter values for parameters such as container and folder. Based on the documentation: #### Example parameters often include: - container: The name of the Azure Blob Storage container. - folder: The folder within the container where your data and flows are stored. Here’s a basic example:

Copy code

sh
prefect init --recipe azure

Then follow the prompts to specify: 1. Enter the container name when prompted:

Copy code

sh
   Enter Azure Blob Storage container name: my-container

2. Enter the folder name when prompted:

Copy code

sh
   Enter folder name within the container: my-folder

### For Prefect 3.x: The

prefect init --recipe azure

command works similarly in Prefect 3.x. If you face any issue, make sure that there is no bug associated with that version. For instance, issue 9962 reported a related bug, but following the typical flow should still prompt you for necessary fields. Links: 1. Prefect Recipes Overview 2.

It looks like passing parameters directly via the command line for the

prefect init --recipe

command is not currently documented in the existing Prefect 2.x or 3.x documentation. Here is some relevant information: ### Prefect 2.x Documentation: There is no specific section that explicitly handles passing fields directly as arguments in the

prefect init --recipe azure

command. Most parameters are expected to be input interactively. ### Prefect 3.x Documentation: Similar to 2.x, there are no direct mentions of passing parameters via command line arguments for

prefect init --recipe azure

, suggesting you might need to follow the interactive prompts approach. ### Attempt to Find Solutions on GitHub Issues: A quick search through GitHub issues also did not yield any conclusive solution for bypassing the prompt entirely via command line. ### Alternative Approach (Default Configuration): Given this information, you might need to resort to using the default configuration and then modify the

prefect.yaml

file or deployment configuration file post initialization. ### Sample Workflow: 1. Initialize the recipe:

Copy code

sh
   prefect init --recipe azure

2. Modify the configuration file: After initialization, update the

prefect.yaml

or relevant files with your specific container and folder settings. ### Helpful Links: 1. Prefect Recipes Overview 2. Deploying with Azure 3. GitHub Prefect Issues Currently, this may require a bit more manual work until this feature is possibly integrated in future updates. If this functionality is critical for your use case, I recommend creating an issue or feature request on Prefect's GitHub to make the development team aware of this need.
