@Marvin how do I specify the work queues that should be created along a work pool in the prefect-worker helm chart?

To specify the work queues that should be created along with a work pool in the Prefect-worker Helm chart, you'll need to modify your Helm chart configuration, typically in a

values.yaml

file. This file allows you to customize how the Prefect worker is set up, including which work queues to use. From what I gathered, each work pool has a "default" queue that's used if a specific work queue isn't specified. You can add additional queues to a work pool for more refined control over work delivery using priorities and concurrency settings. Here's a broader overview of the steps involved: 1. Add the Prefect Helm Repository to your Helm client. This sets up the necessary resources to work with Prefect in a Kubernetes environment. 2. Create a Namespace in your Kubernetes cluster specifically for deploying the Prefect worker. 3. Create a Kubernetes Secret for the Prefect API key. This is essential for the worker to communicate correctly with Prefect Cloud or Prefect Server. 4. Configure Helm Chart Values: - Create a

values.yaml

file to customize the Prefect worker configuration. - Specify your account details and the specific setup for the work queues. This part would typically involve defining different work queues in the values.yaml file, specifying their priorities, etc. For more detailed information on overriding work pool’s job variables and setting up your infrastructure, you can refer to the relevant Prefect documentation: Infrastructure Concepts - Work Pools. Remember, almost no problem is too small to avoid being improved, including missing out on how work queues handle priority and concurrency!

@Marvin We use an on-prem deployment of Prefect Server, not Prefect Cloud. Can you also be more specific about the exact changes to be made to the various files in the helm chart?

To configure your Prefect on-prem deployment using the Helm chart, you'll need to adjust several configuration settings within your

values.yaml

file. Although the primary reference is for Prefect Cloud, you can make the necessary adaptations for Prefect Server. Here's a concise guide to get you moving forward: 1. Modify the Helm Chart for On-Premise Use: - Ensure that your

values.yaml

contains the connection settings specific to your Prefect Server instance. This will typically include the URL of your Prefect Server API and any authentication credentials if applicable. 2. Create and Configure

values.yaml

: - Your

values.yaml

file should include settings to specify the work pool and work queues directly. Unfortunately, the exact configuration details for the work queues are not explicitly detailed in the search results. - To set preferences for work queues, you would define something like the following in your `values.yaml`:

workQueue: 
       name: "<your_work_queue_name>"
       priority: 1  # Choose an integer to prioritize queues

3. Helm Release: - After setting up your

values.yaml

, you will create a Helm release using the following command:

helm upgrade --install prefect-server .

- Ensure that the

.

is the path to your Helm chart directory containing the

values.yaml

. 4. Verify Your Deployment: - Once deployed, verify that your configuration is applied correctly by checking the Prefect Server dashboard and confirming that the work pools and queues are functioning as expected. For further details, refer to related Kubernetes infrastructure examples at the official Prefect documentation here: Kubernetes Deployment Instructions. Remember, each tiny step towards customizing your configuration is one leap closer to a perfectly on-premise orchestrated universe, a bit like the Prefect's pursuit of automation bliss—almost thrillingly mundane!
