@Marvin I'm still having trouble with multiple branches and multiple pull sections for CI/CD and the prefect.yaml:

# Welcome to your prefect.yaml file! You can use this file for storing and managing
# configuration for deploying your flows. We recommend committing this file to source
# control along with your flow code.

# pull section allows you to provide instructions for cloning this project in remote locations
pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
    repository: <https://gitlab.company.com/business-intelligence/repo.git>
    branch: dev
    credentials: '{{ prefect.blocks.gitlab-credentials.repo }}'

# the deployments section allows you to provide configuration for deploying flows
deployments:
- name: surveys_ingestion_staging
  version:
  tags: []
  description:
  entrypoint: flows/surveys/surveys_ingestion.py:surveys_ingestion
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: ecs-staging-m
    work_queue_name:
    job_variables: {}
  schedules: []
  concurrency_limit:
- name: conversations_ingestion_staging
  version:
  tags: []
  description:
  entrypoint: flows/conversations/conversations_ingestion.py:conversations_ingestion
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: ecs-staging-m
    work_queue_name:
    job_variables: {}

I have my CICD pipeline running

prefect --no-prompt deploy --all

, however, I would like to have a prod section in addition to the staging section for pulling. For example, in my deploy-staging section of my CICD pipeline, I would run something like

prefect --no-prompt deploy --staging-section-only

and

prefect --no-prompt deploy --prod-section-only

To handle multiple branches and pull sections in your

prefect.yaml

for CI/CD, you can define separate deployment configurations for each environment (e.g., staging and production). Each deployment can have its own

pull

section, allowing you to specify different branches or repositories. Here's how you can structure your `prefect.yaml`: 1. Separate Pull Sections: You can define separate pull sections within each deployment definition to handle different branches or environments. 2. Use Deployment Overrides: Prefect allows you to override

pull

sections for each deployment. This means you can specify different pull instructions for each deployment. Here's an example structure:

yaml
# Main pull section (optional)
pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
    repository: <https://gitlab.company.com/business-intelligence/repo.git>
    branch: dev
    credentials: '{{ prefect.blocks.gitlab-credentials.repo }}'

# Deployment configurations
deployments:
- name: surveys_ingestion_staging
  pull:
  - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
      repository: <https://gitlab.company.com/business-intelligence/repo.git>
      branch: staging
      credentials: '{{ prefect.blocks.gitlab-credentials.repo }}'
  entrypoint: flows/surveys/surveys_ingestion.py:surveys_ingestion
  work_pool:
    name: ecs-staging-m

- name: surveys_ingestion_prod
  pull:
  - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
      repository: <https://gitlab.company.com/business-intelligence/repo.git>
      branch: prod
      credentials: '{{ prefect.blocks.gitlab-credentials.repo }}'
  entrypoint: flows/surveys/surveys_ingestion.py:surveys_ingestion
  work_pool:
    name: ecs-prod-m

To deploy a specific configuration, use the

--name

flag with the

prefect deploy

command to specify which deployment to run: - For staging:

prefect --no-prompt deploy --name surveys_ingestion_staging

- For production:

prefect --no-prompt deploy --name surveys_ingestion_prod

This setup allows you to manage different environments within the same

prefect.yaml

file, using deployment-specific configurations. You can find more about deployment mechanics in the Prefect documentation.
