To deploy automations defined in a

prefect.yaml

file to a Prefect server, you typically follow these steps: 1. Initialize the Deployment Configuration: Use the command

prefect init

in the directory containing your flow code. This command creates a

prefect.yaml

file and can prompt you with available recipes for your deployment configuration. 2. Set the Prefect API URL: Ensure your Prefect server is accessible by setting the

PREFECT_API_URL

environment variable. For a local Prefect server, you might use:

bash
   prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>

3. Deploy the Flow: Use the Prefect CLI to deploy your flow using the command

prefect deploy

. This will read the configuration from your

prefect.yaml

file and create the deployment on the server. 4. Automate Deployment: To programmatically create an automation, you can use a POST call with necessary parameters like

api_key

,

account_id

, and

workspace_id

. For detailed instructions and examples, you can refer to the Prefect documentation and Prefect automation triggers. If you have further questions or need specific examples, let me know.

@Marvin I am looking to upload automations that I have created and stored in prefect.yaml not deployments

To upload automations defined in a

prefect.yaml

file to a Prefect server, you can follow these steps: 1. Create Automations Programmatically: You can create automations by making a POST request to the Prefect server. This requires your

api_key

,

account_id

, and

workspace_id

. The automations can be defined within the

prefect.yaml

file and then programmatically uploaded. 2. Use CLI for Deployment IDs: If your automations involve specific deployments, you can retrieve deployment IDs using the CLI command:

bash
   prefect deployment ls

Embed these IDs in your automation configuration. 3. Automate Uploads: After setting up your automations in the

prefect.yaml

, you can use scripts to send these configurations to the Prefect server automatically. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on automations and triggers. If you need further assistance or examples, feel free to ask.
