Question

Hi everyone We re going to release Prefect `2 0b6` tomorrow evening with some impressive albeit breaking changes to Prefect 2 0 prefect2 among others We ve added Windows support We ve added breaking changes with respect to the Blocks API this API is an important abstraction you may have used already in the `flow storage` part of your `DeploymentSpec` As a result the `2 0b6` API is incompatible with previous Orion client versions Since breaking changes sounds dangerous the good news is that your data will be migrated for all users After the open source release we will update Cloud 2 0 cloud2 Again your data will remain intact but you will immediately need to upgrade to `2 0b6` to continue using the Cloud API Thanks everyone and we ll keep you up to date once the release is complete

To provide more clarity on the actions needed on your end as Cloud 2 0 user You need to upgrade Prefect 2 0 python package and then restart the agent process once the Cloud release is done If you are using an agent running on Kubernetes update the Prefect image version to 2 0b6 in your Kubernetes manifest and re apply the deployment We will let you know when the release happens and then you can restart your agent

point up this means that you don t need to recreate any deployments or pause your schedules temporarily killing your agent process before the release and restarting once the Cloud 2 0 release is finished we ll let you know may result in some Late Runs but those will be picked up once you restart your agent so Don t Panic prefect duck
