Work Queues as code (config)

[sghegoiu-rokos]

Hi, is it possible to define a work queue inside the prefect config?

We'd like to have some of our deployments running on specific work queues, which can be controlled from the prefect.yaml but there seems to be no option to define the work queue in the config.

Hey @sghegoiu-rokos! It isn't currently possible to specify work queue config in a prefect.yaml file, but it is possible to define work queue config via our Terraform provider.

Right now, prefect.yaml files are only used to define deployment config, but I think adding config for other resources would be worth exploring. How would you like to configure work pools and queues in a prefect.yaml file?

my initial expectation was to be able to do it in the definitions block

  definitions:
    work_pool: &common_work_pool
      name: "default-workpool"
      work_queues:
        - name: "default"
          priority: 1
        - name: "on-demand"
          priority: 2
          concurrency_limit: 5
