@Marvin which prefect version is the prefect could?

Prefect Cloud is not tied to a specific version of the Prefect library itself. Instead, it is a cloud-based platform provided by Prefect that can interact with multiple versions of the Prefect library, primarily Prefect 2.x and 3.x. Prefect Cloud offers features such as centralized orchestration, monitoring, and scalability for workflows built using the Prefect library. You can choose the version of the Prefect library that best suits your needs while using Prefect Cloud for orchestration. If you're starting a new project, it's often a good idea to use the latest stable version of the Prefect library to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.

@Marvin I'm asking about the server version of Prefect cloud
m
Apologies for the confusion. Prefect Cloud operates independently of specific Prefect server versions and doesn't have a "server version" as it is a managed service. Essentially, Prefect Cloud is designed to be used with clients running different versions of the Prefect library, particularly from the Prefect 2.x and 3.x series. Prefect manages the server-side components, ensuring compatibility and providing updates transparently to users.

hi @Tsvetelin - its not quite that Prefect Cloud "is" a specific version of prefect Prefect Cloud supports clients that are using either the 2.x or 3.x SDKs
so actually marvin kinda nailed the answer surprisingly

Maybe my question is that if all features from 3.0 are in Cloud. @Marvin

Prefect Cloud typically aims to support all features of the latest Prefect library versions, including those from Prefect 3.x. However, sometimes new features available in the open-source Prefect library may require some time before they are fully integrated or supported in Prefect Cloud. The Prefect team usually ensures compatibility between the features of the library and Prefect Cloud, so most, if not all, features from the 3.x series should be operational in the cloud environment. For specific feature availability, it may be best to consult the latest Prefect Cloud release notes or announcements from Prefect. If you have a particular feature in mind, I can check for its availability.
