Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

Hello, Can the same agent run flows that use different docker images? Does that mean that the agent is launching another container? Thanks!

Yes. Just use the Docker agent and use the Docker RunConfiguration for your flows. Yes the agent is using Docker to spin up another container in this case

So it has to be a Docker agent? Can it work with a Kubernetes agent?

or is the RunConfiguration agnostic of the agent?

RunConfiguration will pair with the appropriate agent in Prefect one. Yes you can use KubernetesRun + Kubernetes Agent

The KubernetesAgent can also be configured to use different images?

The agent can be running in a pod as long as Prefect is installed. The Flow image can be configured in the RunConfiguration. The agent image is not used for the Flow image
