@Marvin I am running Prefect 2. I would like to tag my flows with the container image tag that is running the flow. How can I do that?

To tag your Prefect 2.x flows with the container image tag, you can dynamically set metadata within your flow. Although Prefect's documentation doesn't provide a direct method for tagging flows with the container image, you can achieve this programmatically. Here's a rough idea of the procedure you might follow: 1. Retrieve the Container Image Tag: Extract the image tag programmatically from within your flow. You can use environment variables or other Docker metadata to pass this information to your flow. 2. Tagging the Flow: Utilize Prefect's capability to add labels to your flows during deployment. In your deployment script, or within the flow itself, you can attach the image tag as a label. To see similar ideas in work, you might want to look at this guide which explains how Prefect interacts with Docker and Kubernetes, providing environment variables for flow executions. Implementing this would require custom scripting in your flow definition to pass the image tag along to Prefect's metadata handling components, like what you see with work queues and deployments. Remember, in the world of AI, even containers need to know what they're wearing - because it matters!
