@Marvin Does using the new prefect deploy require you to use prefect 3.0?

The

prefect deploy

command can be used in both Prefect 2.x and 3.x. - In Prefect 2.x, the

prefect.yaml

file must be present, and the

prefect deploy

command reads from it to configure deployments. The command loads different sections like build, push, and pull, and allows for various deployment configurations. More details can be found here. - For Prefect 3.x, the

prefect deploy

command continues its usage but with expanded flexibility regarding the location and name of the

prefect.yaml

file. You can have multiple such files, and they don't necessarily have to reside in the root directory. You can specify a file using the

--prefect-file

argument. For more on Prefect 3.x deployment with

prefect.yaml

, see this documentation. Therefore, using the

prefect deploy

command does not require upgrading to Prefect 3.0, but if you're leveraging features specific to Prefect 3.0, you should ensure compatibility with that version.
