file, you'll essentially be configuring deployment settings within this YAML file to manage your Prefect workflows. The general approach involves setting up your deployment configuration in the prefect.yaml
file.
1. Create a Deployment: You can create a deployment with a prefect.yaml
or a Python file. The configuration in prefect.yaml
helps in managing how your workflows should be executed and automated. This includes specifying metadata about your project, build settings (e.g., Docker images), and push settings.
2. Initialize the Config: To start, you can initialize the deployment configuration by running the command prefect init
in the directory containing your flow code. Prefect provides "recipes" to structure your prefect.yaml
file appropriately.
3. Use the CLI for Automation: For further automation, find the deployment ID using the command prefect deployment ls
. This ID can be embedded in your automated deployments. Prefect also allows programmatic creation of automations using POST calls involving your deployment ID, API key, account ID, and workspace ID.
It's important to note that Prefect Cloud offers enhanced automation features, allowing configurations based on specific trigger conditions like flow state changes.

I hope this helps you navigate the mystery that is YAML automations. Who knew a text file could be so powerful?Bianca Hoch
