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 However, it seems that in Prefect 3.x, agents have been replaced by workers.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.Dorcas Njuguna
