Hi, I am looking to deploy Prefect agent either on Kubernetes or Service Fabric? Does anyone know what are the resource requirements for Prefect Agent?

Hi @Milly gupta the prefect agent on kubernetes uses a low amount of resources! The docs page on the kubernetes agent may provide some more relevant information / RBAC requirements / etc. https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/kubernetes.html

I looked at it and couldn't find any more details and on github it seems like using the default pod settings. https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/agent/kubernetes/job_spec.yaml

I am unsure what you are asking. The agent uses few resources and the resources used by your flow can be defined in the flow’s KubernetesRun

Yeah that's fine but there must be some minimum resources required for running Prefect agent + flows on a container?

Currently the agent and flows do not make any assumption of base limits for running

Ah ok. Do you support deploying Prefect agent to Service Fabric?

Not at the time but if it is something you’d be interested in contributing we would be happy to assist you along the way 🙂

Ok thank you. I need to understand a little more how a Prefect agent is deployed? how it manages different flow runs. Can I find that information somewhere?

The documentation on agents will give some information but otherwise I would recommend reading through the source. The official

prefecthq/prefect

docker image is used to run agents
