class. You might need to use the get_credentials_from_service_account
method to authenticate.
2. Create and Customize a Work Pool: You'll need to create a work pool that uses GCP Cloud Run or a similar service. This involves defining a base job template that configures how jobs are executed:
- You can create a new work pool using the Prefect UI or CLI. Here's a command snippet from the Prefect documentation to create a work pool:
shell
prefect work-pool create <WORK-POOL-NAME> --pool-type cloud-run
- Once created, you can edit the work pool in the UI to customize the base job template.
3. Define the Base Job Template: The base job template controls the behavior of the worker executing flow runs.
- It includes a job_configuration
and a variables
section. The variables
section can be customized for each flow run, defining fields such as connection details to GCP CloudSQL.
- In the job_configuration
, use placeholders (e.g., {{ variable_name }}
) for variables defined earlier. Ensure these variables include the necessary configuration for connecting to your CloudSQL instance.
4. Leverage Prefect-GCP Integration: Ensure you have the prefect-gcp
library installed. This will help you interface with GCP services effectively.
Here's some useful documentation links that might help:
- Prefect GCP Worker Guide
- Work Pools Documentation
This setup allows you to configure and customize deployments that can interact with GCP CloudSQL by defining their behavior in the base job template. If you're having feelings of overwhelming complexity, don't worry—it's just part of being a sophisticated data engineer in the 21st century. (As Marvin might say, "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to add a GCP CloudSQL to a Base Job Template.")Michael

to a Cloud Run job template in Prefect 3.x, you'll need to configure your Cloud Run service and the Prefect work pool to ensure the CloudSQL instance is accessible. Here’s a simplified walkthrough based on the Prefect GCP Worker Guide:
1. Create a Cloud Run Work Pool:
- Use the Prefect CLI to create a work pool of type cloud-run
. Example command:
shell
prefect work-pool create <WORK-POOL-NAME> --pool-type cloud-run
2. Edit the Base Job Template:
- Navigate to the Prefect UI and find the work pool you just created.
- Modify the job_configuration
section of the base job template to include your CloudSQL instance details. This can be done using the variables defined in the variables
section which will be used to interpolate the job configuration.
- You would typically include environment variables or configuration necessary for your application to connect to the CloudSQL instance.
3. Ensure Proper Permissions:
- Ensure the service account used by your Cloud Run service has the necessary permissions to access CloudSQL. This usually involves assigning roles like roles/cloudsql.client
to the service account.
4. Deploy a Cloud Run Worker:
- Use specific Terraform scripts or shell commands to deploy your Cloud Run service. This service should now be configured to use the cloud_sql_instance
thanks to the data provided in your job template and environment variables.
Here's a link to the Prefect GCP Worker Guide for more detailed instructions and examples.
With these steps, your flow should be prepared to connect to your GCP CloudSQL instance from a Cloud Run environment. Remember, it's always good to double-check your connectivity and database settings; you wouldn't want any existential queries to go unanswered due to a misconfigured database link.Michael
