A centralized Doc on network requirements in a restricted environment

First check

• [X] I added a descriptive title to this issue.
• [X] I used GitHub search to find a similar request and didn't find it 😇

Describe the issue

I couldn't find a doc page on the network requirements to run Prefect with Prefect Cloud. I work in a networking environment where outbound connectivity is strictly controlled. Having an official page would have greater reduce my level of effort and also give some weight when I make the request for firewall changes.

Describe the proposed change

A page that includes the following information

• What IPs/URLs the prefect agent uses to connect to cloud platform for agent/job communication so that my firewall rules can be as accurate as possible.

Additional context

No response

Thanks for creating this!

Agents and workers only require access to api.prefect.cloud (IPv4 or IPv6) on port 443 and the addresses are documented on our status page under "Cloud 2.0 IP address". I think it makes sense for us to add these to our documentation and cross-reference the status page to make the information more prominent.

We also use a second endpoint (https://sens-o-matic.prefect.io) for telemetry, but that can be disabled through an environment variable and is not required for operation (so blocking it may result in some warnings logged, but will otherwise be harmless).

At some future time, we may change the addresses. In that case, we will provide advance notification of that change via our status page, so please make sure to subscribe to that.

Just an update here: we now publish Cloud 2 IPs on our status page: https://prefect.status.io/
