Here's the YAML snippet for your deployment schedule that will run every night at 10:30 PM Brisbane time with the parameter override of 'ndays=2':

Copy code

yaml
schedules:
  - cron: "30 22 * * *"
    timezone: "Australia/Brisbane"
    params:
      ndays: 2

This configuration: - Uses "30 22" to specify 10:30 PM (22:30 in 24-hour format) - "*" wildcards for day, month, and weekday mean it runs every day - Explicitly sets the timezone to Australia/Brisbane - Includes the parameter override for ndays You can include this snippet within your

prefect.yaml

under the specific deployment configuration. The complete context might look something like:

Copy code

yaml
deployments:
  - name: your-deployment-name
    schedules:
      - cron: "30 22 * * *"
        timezone: "Australia/Brisbane"
        params:
          ndays: 2

The schedule will respect Brisbane local time, including any daylight saving time adjustments (though note that Queensland doesn't observe DST).
