@Marvin How to rename a prefect workpool?

Renaming a work pool in Prefect can be achieved using the Prefect CLI. Here’s how you can do it depending on the version of Prefect you are using: For Prefect 2.x: Unfortunately, the Prefect 2.x documentation doesn't provide explicit details on renaming a work pool. However, you can list, inspect, and preview work pools using the CLI but not rename them directly. Documentation: Prefect 2.x Work Pools For Prefect 3.x: You can update a work pool through the Prefect CLI. The

prefect work-pool update

command is used for this purpose. Here's how you can use the CLI to update a work pool:

bash
prefect work-pool update [OPTIONS] NAME

Where

NAME

is the name of the work pool to update. Optional parameters can be used to specify updates. Documentation: Prefect 3.x Work Pools If renaming is not directly supported, you might need to delete the existing work pool and create a new one with the desired name, making sure to migrate any associated configurations.

@Marvin so can you or can you not rename a workpool? If yes, what's the exact command in cli to rename it?

Based on the Prefect 3.x documentation, there isn't a direct command to rename a work pool. The closest operation you can perform is updating the configurations of a work pool using the

prefect work-pool update

command, but this does not include renaming it. Here is what you can do: 1. Create a new work pool with the desired name:

bash
   prefect work-pool create [OPTIONS] NEW_NAME

2. Delete the existing work pool if it's no longer needed:

bash
   prefect work-pool delete OLD_NAME

Please ensure to properly migrate any configurations and tasks associated with the old work pool to the new one before deletion. Full details can be found in the Prefect 3.x documentation for work pools: Prefect 3.x Work Pools If you have further questions, feel free to ask!

@Nate Hi, can you please confirm that work pool cannot be renamed?

correct, not directly. easiest thing to do would probably be what marvin suggested if you need to automate this i'd use the client instead of the CLI
