@Marvin How to create a deployment using terraform and run a flow from a github repository?

It seems like I'm having a bit of a hiccup accessing the resources I need to provide you with detailed documentation and existing issues on creating a Prefect deployment using Terraform and running a flow from a GitHub repository. It's as if the digital universe decided to take a lunch break. However, I can give you a broad overview based on general practices: 1. Terraform Configuration: - You would typically start by writing a Terraform configuration file (

.tf

file) where you define the resources needed for your Prefect deployment. This could include defining a Prefect Cloud agent setup, or other infrastructure necessary to execute your flows. 2. Integrate Flow from GitHub: - To run a Prefect flow stored in a GitHub repository, you'll need to set up your Prefect project to point to the repository. This can involve using Prefect's storage options like GitHub storage when defining your flow, so that it fetches your flow code directly from GitHub. 3. Deploy and Run Flows: - With your Terraform setup, apply the configuration using

terraform apply

. This step will execute the terraform plan and set up the environment. - Once your infrastructure is ready, you'll register the flow with Prefect, making sure to specify the GitHub location as the source. - Finally, you can schedule or trigger your flow to run from the Prefect environment. Please do check Prefect's official documentation for the most precise steps and look out for additional information on their community forums or GitHub discussions. And in case you wanted to actually interact with these via Terraform, don't forget to keep those API credentials handy—certainly wouldn't want them to be more secretive than they need to be.

hi @Crozzk - perhaps this is helpful as far as tf to create resources? and here's the docs on using git as a `source`for your flow code, as well as an example (where you don't need to pass a docker image unless you want to use a docker/k8s/etc work pool, you can just omit that if using a process work pool for example)

Hi! I configured everything to create a deployment, I was having an error and I was stuck for hours figuring out what was the issue until I found this pr opened today https://github.com/PrefectHQ/terraform-provider-prefect/pull/322 🚀 is there a workaround for this issue, maybe using an older version of the provider?

oh no! sorry you hit trouble - have you tried running against that branch itself? i'm sure it would be helpful if you chimed in either in a new issue or on that PR to say what you tried and what was unexpected

OMG thanks! Had to figure out how to do it but it worked catjam
