Getting started

Build a Flyte workflow and deploy it on Union Cloud
Prerequisites
Your administrator should complete Onboarding before you move to this section.
Typographic conventions
In the examples below, we show commands being invoked within a terminal. When the context of a command is important we show a terminal prompt that looks like this:
[current-directory]:current-python-virtual-environment
``$``command
Your terminal prompt may, of course, look slightly different.
This section walks you through building your first Flyte workflow and deploying it on Union Cloud.
The first part of this tutorial is similar to Getting Started for Flyte, but adapted for Union Cloud. If you already have experience building and running workflows with Flyte, you can skip to Running workflows.
Learning more about Flyte
There is a lot to learn about Flyte and we won't be covering all of it in these docs. The best source for that information is the Flyte open-source project itself:
​Flyte project homepage​
​Flyte docs​
And here are some pointers to specific sections that you might find helpful:
​Flyte Fundamentals​
​Core Use Cases​
​User Guide​
​Tutorials​
​Integrations​
​Concepts​
​Flytekit​
Differences between Flyte and Union Cloud
As you read the Flyte docs keep in mind a few of the differences between Flyte and Union Cloud:
The command-line tool for Flyte OSS is flytectl. The one for Union Cloud is uctl. They are identical except that uctl has a few extra Union Cloud-specific features.
The default local configuration location for Flyte is ~/.flyte/ while for Union Cloud it is ~/.uctl/.
