@Kyle Moon-Wright #prefect-community -- I am new to Prefect.. Can someone help me understand the difference between Prefect agent and Prefect executors?

Thanks @josh.. So, lets say Agent is a base machine or a container, and executors come into picture when flows execute.. Agent is a one time setup, but we can specify different executor type at different flow level

Yeah! Agents deploy flows and executors execute tasks within that flow
