New to prefect : Do we need to install/setup anything locally if we use prefect cloud ?

Welcome @Ketan Bhikadiya! You won’t need anything installed to access the Cloud client (just a Cloud account), however you will need Prefect installed, as well as Docker and Docker Compose, to get Core/Server running locally. Here’s a good place to start to get everything off the ground: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/tutorial/configure.html#spin-up-prefect-core-s-server

thank you @Kyle Moon-Wright We are using windows 2016, where our ELT tool is installed. docker do not works on Windows 2016. this means we can not use prefect core(open source) or prefect cloud(Paid version). Is this correct?

You still can! Though you’ll be unable to deploy your flow via Docker with Prefect Cloud, you’ll still be able to deploy a flow utilizing other storage types like S3, GCS, Azure, or a local deployment. Check out your options here: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/execution/storage_options.html

thank you
