Hey guys! Recently, I was struggling with cloud infrastructure deployment and had the idea to create a tool. If you know how to code but are not familiar with clouds then this is a great way for you-just use Cloudy templates which are actually based on Pulumi. Let’s push “infrastructure as code” so it can be used by everyone! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31313931 https://github.com/cloudytool/cloudy

Thanks for sharing!
@Ivan Fokeev by cluster, do they mean Kubernetes? If you happen to have a short description of how you use it together with Prefect and could share it, that would be fantastic!

Thanks for a great tool, Prefect team! By cluster I mean bare metal nodes cluster. Prefect and cloudy could have a template to launch prefect schedulers and workers on the new nodes. It will be useful for a fast production-ready prefect start.

Thanks, is it your repository? I wonder what is meant by a bare-metal cluster? Is it just a single VM then e.g. Ubuntu? It's nice but I wouldn't have enough content to use it

Yes, it’s mine. I just published it. Cluster as several VMs. In AWS it’s ec2 service and Compute Engine in GCP. VMs are 2x times cheaper than Kubernetes engine and it’s possible just create a Kubernetes cluster yourself using Cloudy infrastructure, getting 2x money economy.
how could I change the readme to make it more clear? People are confused with meaning “clusters” because there are nodes clusters and orchestrator (Docker Swarm, Kubernetes) clusters

Specifically for Prefect users, it would be great to see how one can use it with Prefect 2.0 - for instance, if the cluster is a Kubernetes cluster, showing how to spin up the cluster and how to use it with a
KubernetesFlowRunner
.

Is it good as a blog post? I found this https://orion-docs.prefect.io/tutorials/kubernetes-flow-runner/, it will help me
