To map a secret into a job in Prefect 3.0, you can take advantage of Prefect's secret management features. Here's a concise guide on how to achieve this: 1. Using Prefect Secrets: - You can use the
Secret
block to store and retrieve sensitive information securely. This is particularly useful when integrating with third-party services. - Example:
Copy code
python
     from prefect import flow
     from prefect.blocks.system import Secret

     # Store a secret
     secret = Secret(value="my-secret-value")
     secret.save("my-secret", overwrite=True, _sync=True)

     # Use the secret in a flow
     @flow
     def my_flow():
         import os
         print(os.environ["MY_SECRET"])
2. Environment Variables: - You can also use environment variables in your
prefect.yaml
file by templating them with
{{ $ENV_VAR_NAME }}
syntax. This requires that the environment variable is set on the machine where
prefect deploy
is run. 3. Prefect Documentation: - For more detailed steps and examples, refer to the Prefect 3.0 Secrets Documentation. These approaches ensure your secrets are managed securely while being accessible within your Prefect jobs. If you're using Prefect Cloud, the values are stored in an encrypted format for additional security.
