Hi everyone please how can I run prefect 2 0 Agent within python code that contain the flow

Kalise Richmond · Answer

Hi < Oluremi Akinwale> If you just want to run a flow with the python code you can just trigger the code directly without the prefect Agent Could you describe more what you are trying to accomplish with the agent within the python code that contains the flow

Thanks Kalise for your reply

Oluremi Akinwale · Answer

I deployed the flow on prefect cloud and also scheduled it but this doesn t run except I run the agent first

Kalise Richmond · Answer

Ah ok so the Agent is intended to be long running so it can poll cloud for scheduled work when it finds the scheduled deployment it gets the metadata such as the deployment infrastructure where it should how it should run and the storage block where the code is stored It sounds like you need to specify a storage block for where you are storing the flow code If you re looking for more serverless here s an example Anna wrote <https towardsdatascience com prefect aws ecs fargate github actions make serverless dataflows as easy as py f6025335effc>
