Hi everyone, I tried adding customization to the deployment (see screenshot for reference). Deployment creates successfully and I am able to run the flow. When I describe the pod, it doesn't show the memory limits/requests I set using customizations. I went through the code at 
prefect/src/prefect/agent.py
under 
get_infrastructure
overrides are added to an object called data but that's not used afterwards to update the infra instead infra_dict was used which was used to create data in the earlier steps. Can this be a reason of missing customizations I am trying to send via infra_overrides? Or am I looking at it incorrectly.
c
I don’t know if I’ve seen / done it this way, generally, I set customizations in the KubernetesJob
which has a kwarg for it
r
we do it in this sort of way
infra_overrides=dict()
customizations=[]
resourcesPatch = {
"op": "add",
"path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/resources",
"value": {
"requests": {
"cpu": cpu,
"memory": str(memory) + "Mi"
},
"limits": {
"cpu": cpu * 2,
"memory": str(memory * 2) + "Mi"
}
},
}
customizations.append(resourcesPatch)
infra_overrides['customizations'] = customizations
then infra_overrides=infra_overrides in the build_from_flow
a
@redsquare when you are doing 
customizations.append(resourcesPatch)
can I assume 
customizations
is a list?
r
Yes sorry - see above
its pretty confusing/ugly - Im not a python dev
a
I am, in a way, doing exactly this, right?
r
took me a while to get it working
a
I earlier assumed that this works after our conversation earlier on a different thread and everything was working fine but when I described the kubernetes pod, I could not see values of memory requests/limits
c
are you saving this deployment anywhere (or can you) and check : 1. The deployment object in the UI / CLI 2. The job spec that actually gets submitted
a
no, I have not saved this. I will do that and share
Hi @Christopher Boyd this is what I got in the deployment object
Copy code

interesting - what I think you could do as a temporary solution, would be to copy the list of customizations into the `customizations: []`field - I’ll have to try and test this
a
tried that, didn't work either. What was the thing you mentioned earlier about setting customizations in KubernetesJob? I have to create multiple flows, all of which will have different requirements in terms of memory and cpu whereas rest of the things remain same. I earlier thought of creating multiple blocks but that would be a very weird way of doing that.
r
hang on your path need to be /spec/template/spec/containers/0/resources
🙌 1
your setting the resources on the first (only) container
c
good catch, I didn’t see that
r
@Christopher Boyd this needs to be easier, causes mass confusion 😁
as in dedicated props on the k8 block
then you turn it into a patch, like you do for other settings of the k8 block - image etc
c
@redsquare - do you have any thoughts / ideas? I’m absolutely open to the idea, and I agree I can bring that feedback up to the team to make an improvement - just curious what might seem more natural or intuitive here
r
Perhaps simply a container_resources prop on the k8s block where I can set ["requests": { "cpu": cpu, "memory": str(memory) + "Mi" }, "limits": { "cpu": cpu * 2, "memory": str(memory * 2) + "Mi" }]
🙌 1
a
Thanks a lot @redsquare @Christopher Boyd it worked.
🙌 1
r
would be a pain to set them all individually e.g container_resources.requests.cpu....
@Ankit finally whoop
a
yeah man, took me long enough. I did follow that thread you sent and tried this path but I probably did something else wrong at that time.
r
yeah - it needs simplifying - a few people a week struggle with this - and I struggle to help them 😁
😀 1
I think its normal to set resources for pods
➕ 1
or should be !
c
I agree, I’ll raise this with the team and hopefully work on a better solution and documentation for this
