@Marvin when I use the prefect.yaml file I can deploy a flow to a Docker Worker. how can I specify the image to be used?

To specify a Docker image when deploying a flow using the
prefect.yaml
file, you can override the build, push, and pull steps. This allows you to define a custom image for each deployment. Here's a general approach: 1. Define Custom Steps: You can use commands in the
prefect.yaml
file to customize the behavior, such as using
run_shell_script
to specify image tags. 2. Tagging: If your code is stored in a repository like GitHub, it's a good practice to tag your images with a Git SHA for easy identification. 3. Authentication: Before deploying, ensure you authenticate via the Prefect CLI and that all dependencies are present. Unfortunately, the exact syntax or fields to use in
prefect.yaml
for specifying the Docker image isn't detailed in the excerpts I found. You might want to directly check the Prefect documentation on Docker infrastructure examples for a more comprehensive guide.

Can I also specify it underr deployments: in prefect.yaml?

Yes, you can specify the Docker image under the
deployments
section in the
prefect.yaml
file. Here's how you can do it: - Build Steps: Use
prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image
to produce
image_name
and
tag
fields. These fields can then be used within your deployment configurations. - Multiple Deployments: Prefect supports multiple deployment declarations within the
prefect.yaml
file. Each deployment can have its own configuration, including specifying different Docker images. - Dynamic Variables: You can dynamically populate image values using variables like
{{ build-image.image }}
if your build steps produce the necessary fields. For more detailed instructions and examples, you can refer to the Prefect YAML documentation.
