Apache Airflow preinstalled for AWS. Airflow 3 with a local PostgreSQL database and the LocalExecutor on Ubuntu 24.04, with per instance credentials generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Apache Airflow by cloudimg
Apache Airflow is the open source platform for authoring, scheduling and monitoring data workflows as code. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Airflow fully installed and configured, so a complete workflow orchestration platform is running within minutes of launch. The release available is Airflow 3.
## Application Stack
The image runs Airflow in a pinned Python virtual environment with a local PostgreSQL metadata database and the LocalExecutor. The API server, the scheduler and the dag processor each run as a systemd service under an unprivileged airflow user, and the web interface is served on port 8080.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh PostgreSQL password and a fresh Airflow administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes them to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Airflow services, the metadata database and the web interface are all configured and start on boot. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start adding DAGs to build and schedule your own data pipelines.
