Let me provide you with the current information about deploying Prefect on Kubernetes: 1. Helm Charts: Yes, you can deploy Prefect Server and workers using Helm! The official Prefect Helm charts are maintained in the prefect-helm repository. Here are the key points: - The Helm charts support both Prefect 2.x and 3.x - Repository: https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-helm/ - Charts available: - `prefect-server`: For deploying the Prefect Server - `prefect-worker`: For deploying Prefect workers 2. Basic Installation Steps:
Copy code
bash
# Add the Prefect Helm repository
helm repo add prefect <https://prefecthq.github.io/prefect-helm/>

# Update your repositories
helm repo update

# Install Prefect Server
helm install prefect-server prefect/prefect-server

# Install a Prefect Worker
helm install prefect-worker prefect/prefect-worker
3. Kubernetes Operators: As of Prefect 3.x, there isn't a dedicated Kubernetes operator available. The previous Prefect Kubernetes operator was part of Prefect 1.x and is no longer maintained. Instead, the recommended approach is to: - Use Helm charts for deploying the server and workers - Use the Kubernetes infrastructure block in Prefect for running flow tasks on Kubernetes 4. Configuration Options: The Helm charts offer extensive configuration options through
values.yaml
, including: - Resource limits and requests - Service configurations - Database settings - Worker configurations - Ingress settings 5. Best Practices: - Always use version-specific tags for the images - Configure resource limits appropriately - Set up proper ingress if you need external access - Consider using persistent storage for the database - Configure proper security settings, especially if exposed externally For detailed configuration options and examples, you can check: 1. The official documentation: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/deployment/server-guide/ 2. The Helm chart repository: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-helm Would you like me to provide more specific details about any particular aspect of the Kubernetes deployment, such as configuration examples or specific Helm values?
