Prefect Community

Prefect 2 question here:
Are an agent and work queue necessary in order to run a k8 job?

For instance if i am using prefect cloud and create a deployment with kubernetes flow runner. Running the flow via the GUI or using "deployment run" from vm/local machine without an agent and queue setup results in no flow being run and a state of late.

The prefect docs just say you need:
Remote storage and `kubectl` configured to connect to a cluster

But if you don’t use the deployment, it should just run on whatever machine you run on and report the state to Orion

I know you can run agents outside the k8 cluster. For instance a VM setup with kubectl and pointed at the cluster with agent on it will be able to create jobs for you.

I wondering if i could the same thing, but without having to utilize the agent queue mechanism
