@Marvin What does this command do? : prefect agent start -p 'warehouse_pipeline' Explain to me in simple terms
m
The command
prefect agent start -p 'warehouse_pipeline'
is used to start a Prefect agent. However, it seems that in Prefect 3.x, agents have been replaced by workers. The
-p
parameter is likely specifying a particular work queue or process name, in this case, 'warehouse_pipeline'. Here's a simplified explanation: - Prefect Agent/Worker: These are processes that execute your flows. They listen for work from Prefect's orchestration layer and execute tasks accordingly. - -p 'warehouse_pipeline': This specifies the particular work queue or process that the agent/worker should listen to. In this case, it seems to be targeting a queue or process named 'warehouse_pipeline'. For more detailed information, you might want to look into the Prefect documentation on upgrading agents to workers.

@Marvin So what happened is, i made a change in one of the python files in the dags folder. Then after, i pulled those changes in the ec2 instance that i am working in. I then run the command: prefect deployment apply ewhAfrica-deployment.yaml and it was successful. After is when i was given the command: To execute flow runs from this deployment, start an agent that pulls work from the 'warehouse_pipeline' work pool: $ prefect agent start -p 'warehouse_pipeline' Have i been on the right track?
