prefect_azure.workers.container_instance

Module containing the Azure Container Instances worker used for executing flow runs in ACI containers.

To start an ACI worker, run the following command:

prefect worker start --pool 'my-work-pool' --type azure-container-instance

Replace my-work-pool with the name of the work pool you want the worker to poll for flow runs.

Using a custom ARM template

To facilitate easy customization, the Azure Container worker provisions a containing group using an ARM template. The default ARM template is represented in YAML as follows: ```yaml


arm_template: "$schema": https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-08-01/deploymentTemplate.json# contentVersion: 1.0.0.0 parameters: location: type: string defaultValue: "[resourceGroup().location]" metadata: description: Location for all resources. container_group_name: type: string defaultValue: "[uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)]" metadata: description: The name of the container group to create. container_name: type: string defaultValue: "[uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)]" metadata: description: The name of the container to create. resources: - type: Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups apiVersion: '2022-09-01' name: "[parameters('container_group_name')]" location: "[parameters('location')]" properties: containers: - name: "[parameters('container_name')]" properties: image: rpeden/my-aci-flow:latest command: "{{ command }}" resources: requests: cpu: "{{ cpu }}" memoryInGB: "{{ memory }}" environmentVariables: [] osType: Linux restartPolicy: Never ```

Each values enclosed in {{ }} is a placeholder that will be replaced with a value at runtime. The values that can be used a placeholders are defined by the variables schema defined in the base job template.

The default job manifest and available variables can be customized on a work pool by work pool basis. These customizations can be made via the Prefect UI when creating or editing a work pool.

Using an ARM template makes the worker flexible; you're not limited to using the features the worker provides out of the box. Instead, you can modify the ARM template to use any features available in Azure Container Instances.
