02/09/2021, 11:02 AMWhat happens if I update Prefect (or restart it) while running a flow (specifically Kubernetes Agent)? Will the new agent correctly monitor the flow or could it introduce undefined behhavior?

02/09/2021, 7:19 PMAh you're right, the agent does check on the jobs in this case
A version update should only matter if we change the identifiers though since the agent isn't keeping track of what jobs it has created e.g.
jobs = self.batch_client.list_namespaced_job(
namespace=self.namespace,
label_selector="<http://prefect.io/identifier|prefect.io/identifier>",
limit=20,
_continue=_continue,

Thanks for checking out the details!
