Do we need prefect cloud to be able to deploy on Kubernetes? #14024

The Kubernetes tutorial requires a prefect key (step 1.). Given that it's an open workflow engine, is there a way to deploy without it? |

From @zzstoatzz :
this is true if you're using prefect cloud
in general, because Prefect Cloud offers an orchestration/observability server as a service, whereas general cloud providers offer things like compute (e.g. managed k8s) or storage that prefect cloud can observe because having a cloud account is not actually required to run flows with kubernetes (i.e. you can run your own prefect server) , thanks for raising that! |

you can use any cloud provider with either prefect cloud or prefect server. your cloud provider is just where you get cloud compute or storage the same way you would otherwise without prefect (edited)
