Hey, I'm using the latest prefect 2.0 b9 and when running "prefect storage ls" all my created blocks are shown - not only storage blocks. Is this expected? (It's actually not a blocking problem, just wanted to report, if not already known).

thanks so much for reporting this, we already have an issue about this internally

Hey Anna, I noticed this too and was able to update to using filesystems (I think this is a nice improvement!). One thing I noticed is that I need to install (in my case)

s3fs

separately, which isn't bundled as a requirement in any

extras

yet. This is nice though:

Deployment(
    name="k8s-example",
    flow=my_kubernetes_flow,
    flow_runner=k8s_flow_runner,
    # deprecated: flow_storage=S3StorageBlock(bucket=STORAGE_BUCKET),
    packager=FilePackager(
        filesystem=RemoteFileSystem(basepath=f"s3://{STORAGE_BUCKET}/")
    ),
)

Hi @Anna Geller I’m super interested in this new feature (I struggle with the CLI to automate storage creation through a kubernetes job). Is there any documentation incoming with this new

explicit definition

feature ?

we work on improving and hardening infrastructure blocks behind Deployments after GA release once things get more stable we'll update docs and provide more recipes and guidance

Hey Anna, quick question, a little bit related to all of this. With b8 you released the Packager concept. Why would anyone use this - what's the use case, compared to what we already had before?

it's primarily a helper abstraction for users who are e.g. not comfortable with Docker and want Prefect to package code, build image and push to registry for them
