Hi, can you recommend an article which covers the following aspects? 1. How to use Prefect without Prefect Cloud, if you still want a Web UI? 2. What are the alternatives to Prefect Cloud? 3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of those alternatives? 4. Probably too specific: (How to setup Prefect on AWS Fargate without Prefect Cloud, but with UI)

@André Petersen 1. You could deploy Prefect Server and manage everything yourself and build your own authentication, RBAC, security, scaling etc. The basis for that is covered in the docs here: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/server/deploy-local.html 2. The alternative to Prefect Cloud would be Prefect Server, or do you expect me to name Prefect competitors? 😅 3. same question 4. There is actually an article that covers that: https://towardsdatascience.com/deploying-prefect-server-with-aws-ecs-fargate-and-docker-storage-36f633226c5f
Based on those questions, I have to ask: Did you try using Prefect Cloud? Was there something about it you didn’t like? We have plans on Prefect Cloud which allow you to run up to 20,000 successful task runs each month entirely for free.

Thanks for the links @Anna Geller. I am worried about convincing my company to use a solution with an additional "entity" due to IT Security and Legal issues. Prefect cloud would be accessible via a publicly-accessible URL and it would be within a third "network" besides Snowflake and AWS. It's just that we will either use AWS MWAA, where everything would be within the AWS network and within a VPC (which is quite easy from a IT security and Legal standpoint in our case) or we would use AWS Fargate AND prefect cloud. That would require some kind of legal contract between us and Prefect I assume. Also IT security would probably prefer to not have a Web UI "open on the internet".

@André Petersen I understand. We do have customers who had exactly the same requirements and who are using Prefect Cloud. I would highly recommend talking to sales@prefect.io - they can advise you with respect to IT security and legal issues. I totally understand why you may need such formal process and I’m sure we could help with all that.

I will contact sales
