Some questions re launch plans 1 Is there any flytectl comma

Question

Some questions re launch plans 1 Is there any flytectl command to create or register a launch plan 2 Why does `pyflyte pkgs src package` command starts executing the given launch plan and workflow from the local setup itself instead of just packaging the launch plan workflow and tasks 3 Is there any flytectl command to see details of the launch plan For example how frequently a particular launch plan is scheduled to execute

Thanks < Thomas Blom> for the quick help but `Activating a Schedule` comes AFTER initializing launch plan my 1st question was around the same thing How to register initialize the launch plan

Thomas Blom · Answer

< Chandrashekhar Kotekar> This is documented on the same page I linked above When you register your workflow with the flyte backend the launchplan is registered at that time the same as any other launchplan you must define this LaunchPlan in your code along with your workflow See under the example given that calls `LaunchPlan get or create ` You tell it what workflow to run how often and what the inputs should be

If I execute `pyflyte package` command from my laptop is it expected that launch plan will start running workflow from my laptop itself

Yee · Answer

packaging is just the first step this will walk through the python files that you give it and pick out all the flyte entities launch plans being one of them workflows and tasks being the others and will create a zip file containing a protobuf serialized representation of them

Yee · Answer

you will then have to ship those off to the control plane which is associated with one or more execution environments usually just one

Yee · Answer

when the launch plan schedule is activated and triggered or when you just run the launch plan manually only then will the code containers be run

Yee · Answer

if the flyte installation is on your laptop then it will start running on your laptop yes if it s on eks then it will kick off on eks

Thanks < Yee> for the explainataion How do I ensure that `pyflate package` step only packages the launch plan workflow and tasks In my case I have Flyte demo and sandbox clusters in Docker Desktop Is is the reason that pakcage command begins executing the launch plan on the laptop itself

Yee · Answer

the package command will not start executing anything but it does run a lot of `import ` like it will run import on all your files

Yee · Answer

so if you have logic at the module level that does stuff then it will run but it s not flyte running it s just python

ahan ok thanks I will have a look into my code Maybe some code in ` init py` is making the code run
