The concept of "workers" in Prefect, replacing traditional "agents" with a more flexible infrastructure approach, was introduced starting in Prefect 2.x. The workers provide enhanced control over infrastructure configurations and a more seamless infrastructure and execution environment management experience. These enhancements were documented as available features in Prefect 2.x.
Here are relevant resources where you can explore further:
- Prefect 3.0 documentation on upgrading from agents to workers:

- Prefect 3.0 infrastructure concepts around workers:

So, if you're using Prefect 2 or 3, you should have access to worker infrastructure. If you have a specific sub-version in mind within these versions, it's always a good idea to look at the release notes or version-specific documentation details.
