Great question! In Prefect 3.x, workers poll a work pool. You can optionally restrict a worker to specific work queues within that pool using the

--work-queue

flag. Quick setup and start: 1) Create (or ensure you have) a work pool

prefect work-pool create my-pool --type docker

2) Create a work queue in that pool

prefect work-queue create my-queue --pool my-pool

3) Start a worker associated with that pool and queue

prefect worker start --pool my-pool --work-queue my-queue

Notes: - If you omit

--work-queue

, the worker will pull from all queues in the specified pool. - You can target multiple queues by repeating the flag:

prefect worker start --pool my-pool --work-queue high --work-queue default

Helpful docs: - Workers overview: Workers in Prefect 3 - Worker CLI reference: prefect worker CLI - Work queues CLI (create/list/manage): prefect work-queue CLI If you’re on Prefect 2.x, the commands are similar but I’d recommend upgrading to 3.x for the latest worker and deployment model. Want an example tying a deployment to a specific work queue too?
