Hi guys, over the last few weeks getting to know the Metaflow framework I come to understand that there are 3 separate processes (which I hope I'm explaining well). Process 1 is the building of the flow logic and getting all of the flow application requirements at this point this flow can be run locally without issues, I then get all of this into a docker img and push to ECR in order to go beyond local runtime resources. Process 2 is getting the infrastructure up, which at output returns the METAFLOW configuration details. Process 3 is the deployment process where process 2 setup is now going to be used to deploy process 1 image using the metaflow CLI commands. What is confusing me at this stage is where this deployment runs from (must an instance be provisioned from where the metaflow CLI commands must be run to manage deployments)? Is there perhaps a GITHUB ACTIONS yaml available so that the metaflow deployment can be automated...(automate the creation of the state machine)?

good question. Different folks handle deployments differently. The easiest way is to execute

argo-workflows create

(or the same for Step Functions or Airflow) on the same instance where you do development. No extra infrastructure needed
