Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

I can get Prefect agent running locally and triggered by Prefect Cloud UI. Now I want to move the agent to a Kubernetes cluster on IBM Cloud.
There is not a tutorial to list the steps and the docs from Prefect is grouped around some concepts that I don’t know what I need to accomplish the goal.
Can you please list the steps? for example:
1. set flow storage to docker
2. Push the code to container registry in the kubernetes cluster
3. …
I am hoping with this list, I can look up the Prefect docs to figure out what to do.

<@U02GX2J9B7X> Here are some docs that show how to set this up:
1. <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/execution/storage_options.html#docker>
2. <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/kubernetes.html#requirements>
In general, you need a YAML deployment file to deploy your agent to the IBM Kubernetes cluster. You can generate it:
```prefect agent kubernetes install -k YOUR_API_KEY --rbac &gt;&gt; prefect_agent.yaml```
then you can customize this file and apply it to the cluster:
```kubectl apply -f prefect_agent.yaml```

Thanks Anna. On flow.storage.build()   (this is docker storage) I get the following error:
File “/Users/zhengxie1/workspace/cog_ana_model_train/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/prefect/storage/docker.py”, line 585, in push_image
    raise InterruptedError(line.get(“error”))
InterruptedError: unauthorized: The login credentials are not valid, or your IBM Cloud account is not active.

How do I provide credential please?

it’s usually something like:
```docker login -u $REGISTRY_USER -p $REGISTRY_PASSWORD $REGISTRY_URL```

OK, IBM seems to be a bit more “special” :smile:
```ibmcloud cr login```
check out this doc: <https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-getting-started>

I can use CLI to push image. The question is can I run python code using prefect library to build the image locally, then I use IBM cloud CLI to push it into the registry?

flow.storage.build() seems to run behind the scene, it builds and push the image and I don’t know how to provide credential in python runtime.

if you login to IBM Container Registry from a terminal session, and from the same session you run:
```prefect register --project yourproject -p yourflow.py```
then it will work just fine, you should be able to push the image

Hi Anna, I can push to icr now. Thanks a lot. I did see Docker storage before your tips, but it is listed under “Legacy environment”, so I wasn’t sure if was applicable.

<@U02GX2J9B7X> you’re absolutely right! thanks for pointing that out! Something must have gone wrong with the docs structure, none of those storage classes belong to legacy environments. Thanks again!
