09/28/2021, 12:37 PMI admittedly haven't used Cloud myself (* shock * haha), but as I understand it, the UI can be run locally or on your own host, connected to Cloud or Server (which likewise can be run locally or on your own host). Prefect Core refers to the framework for defining tasks and flows, rather than the orchestration part, so it can be used without Cloud/Server/UI.

Are you running on server or cloud? We don’t have authentication for Prefect Server.

If you are using Prefect Cloud though, maybe it will be easier to use it through
