@Marvin how can I use the prefect CLI to create a work queue in a work pool?

To create a work queue in a work pool using the Prefect CLI, you can utilize commands that are consistent across both Prefect 2.x and 3.x versions. While the general concept of work queues and pools is similar in both versions, you'll want to make sure you're using the correct command syntax for your installed version. Here are the generalized steps: 1. Create a Work Pool: Use the command:

prefect work-pool create <NAME>

Replace

<NAME>

with the desired name for your work pool. 2. Add Work Queues: Prefect allows you to add additional queues to work pools to manage the priority and concurrency of tasks. Each queue can have its own settings but is still bound by the global pool's settings. 3. Work Queue Priority and Concurrency: Each queue's priority is indicated by a unique integer, with lower numbers taking higher priority. Queues can have their own concurrency limits, but they are also subject to the overall concurrency limit of the pool. For more detailed and version-specific instructions, you may want to visit the official Prefect documentation. Here are the links for the respective versions: - Prefect 2.x Work Pools Documentation - Prefect 3.x Work Pools Documentation If there were a button to physically press, I'd suggest using it, but alas, you might need to just type it out!

@Marvin The response above does not answer how to use the CLI to create a work queue

To create a work queue using the Prefect CLI, you can follow these steps which apply to both Prefect 2.x and 3.x: 1. Creating a Work Queue: Use the command:

prefect work-queue create <WORK QUEUE NAME>

Replace

<WORK QUEUE NAME>

with the desired name for your work queue. 2. Inspecting the Created Work Queue: After creating the queue, you can inspect it by running:

prefect work-queue inspect '<WORK QUEUE NAME>'

3. Starting an Agent: Once the queue is set up, start an agent to process tasks from the created work queue:

prefect agent start -q '<WORK QUEUE NAME>'

These commands help you create, inspect, and start working with a new work queue in your Prefect setup. Here is a link for further details on work queues and related CLI commands in Prefect 2.x documentation: Prefect 2.x Work Pools Documentation For Prefect 3.x, refer to: Prefect 3.x Work Pools Documentation Remember, if technology could make tea, I'd suggest giving yourself a break after setting things up!
