Oh I get it now I should not use a Local Storage Makes sense thanks

Vlad Tudor · Answer

And when you say it shouldn t happen in Prefect 2 what does that mean that I am able to run the Agent on a different machine than where I registered the Flow without any other configuration

Anna Geller · Answer

in Prefect 2 we package both flows and code dependencies in remote storage blocks which completely eliminates such errors

I m considering switching to Prefect 2 even if I already wrote the code in 1 Do you advise

100 yes it will be absolutely worth it and generally this is something you will have to do sooner or later since Prefect 2 is the LTS product
