Prefect Community

Another unrelated k8s deployment question:
1. `prefect-cli` talks to `orion` via kubectl port-forward
2. `prefect-agent` knows about `orion` via the k8s service (setting api url env var)
Hence the question: how does `prefect deploy` command interact with an `prefect-agent` if `orion` does not know about agent as well?

You would configure the prefect agent with an api url that points to Orion 

And locally you would also configure your api url to Orion 

yes exactly, so agent registers itself in Orion right?

No, you configure it when you deploy the agent 

It doesn't register itself so to speak unless we are saying the same thing in different ways 

You deploy an agent and set the api url - this would be an env var for the pod

Agents are outbound connections only , they are polling Orion for work
