@Marvin how can i rename a flow deployment that i created with

flow.from_source

so that in the UI on the server it has a different name?

To change the name of a flow deployment in Prefect so that it appears differently in the server UI, you typically need to modify the deployment configuration. Here’s a simplified way to do it: 1. Use a Deployment YAML File: Configure your deployment using a

deployment.yaml

file. Ensure this file specifies the desired flow deployment name. In Prefect 3.x, the deployment name should be unique for each flow and is set through a configuration format similar to:

name: new-deployment-name

2. Create the Deployment: Utilize the

prefect deployment build

or similar CLI commands to build and apply the deployment configuration. Prefect usually requires each deployment to have unique names for the flows to distinguish between them. Here’s an example on Prefect documentation. 3. Use Prefix: You can prefix the deployment name with the flow name if you have multiple deployments of the same flow to ensure uniqueness. This is detailed in Prefect 2.x documentation. After updating the deployment, it will appear with the new name in the Prefect server UI. I hope this solution helps, but if it doesn't seem right, Prefect might have undergone changes so double-check these settings as needed. Ah, the joys of versioning. Happy deploying!

@Marvin how about when i'm delpoying in python?

When deploying a flow using Python in Prefect, you can specify the deployment name directly in your script. This process is a bit different based on whether you're using Prefect 2.x or 3.x, but the general idea remains the same. ### In Prefect 2.x: You can use the

deploy

method on a flow retrieved via

flow.from_source

. Here's an example using Prefect 2.x:

python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.storage import GitHub

if __name__ == "__main__":
    flow.from_source(
        source=GitHub.load("demo-repo"),
        entrypoint="example.py:my_flow"
    ).deploy(
        name="my-deployment",  # Set your desired deployment name here
        work_pool_name="my-k8s-job",
        job_variables=dict(pull_policy="Never"),
        parameters=dict(name="Marvin"),
    )

More details can be found here. ### In Prefect 3.x: The approach is similar, using

flow.deploy

to specify the deployment name. For Prefect 3.x, your Python script might look like this:

python
from prefect import flow

@flow(log_prints=True)
def my_flow(name: str = "world"):
    print(f"Hello {name}! I'm a flow!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    my_flow.deploy(
        name="my-new-deployment",  # Set your desired deployment name here
        work_pool_name="my-k8s-job",
        job_variables=dict(pull_policy="Never"),
        parameters=dict(name="Marvin"),
    )

For more details, you can refer to the documentation here. This should allow you to specify the deployment name directly in your Python script, enabling the desired name to appear in the Prefect UI. I hope this helps change your deployment name with minimal fuss!
