Terraform module to deploy an Apache Airflow cluster on AWS, backed by RDS PostgreSQL for metadata, S3 for logs and SQS as message broker with CeleryExecutor
| Terraform version | Tag |
|---|---|
| <= 0.11 | v0.7.x |
| >= 0.12 | >= v0.8.x |
You can use this module from the Terraform Registry
module "airflow-cluster" {
# REQUIRED

key_name = "airflow-key"
cluster_name = "my-airflow"
cluster_stage = "prod" # Default is 'dev'
db_password = "your-rds-master-password"
fernet_key = "your-fernet-key" # see https://airflow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/howto/secure-connections.html
# OPTIONALS
vpc_id = "some-vpc-id" # Use default if not provided
custom_requirements = "path/to/custom/requirements.txt" # See examples/custom_requirements for more details
custom_env = "path/to/custom/env" # See examples/custom_env for more details
ingress_cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"] # List of IPv4 CIDR ranges to use on all ingress rules
ingress_with_cidr_blocks = [ # List of computed ingress rules to create where 'cidr_blocks' is used
{
description = "List of computed ingress rules for Airflow webserver"
from_port = 8080
to_port = 8080
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = "0.0.0.0/0"
},

to_port = 5555
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = "0.0.0.0/0"
}
]
tags = {
FirstKey = "first-value" # Additional tags to use on resources
SecondKey = "second-value"
}
load_example_dags = false
load_default_conns = false
rbac = true # See examples/rbac for more details
admin_name = "John" # Only if rbac is true
admin_lastname = "Doe" # Only if rbac is true
admin_email = "admin@admin.com" # Only if rbac is true
admin_username = "admin" # Only if rbac is true
admin_password = "supersecretpassword" # Only if rbac is true
}The Airflow service runs under systemd, so logs are available through journalctl.
$ journalctl -u airflow -n 50
- Run airflow as systemd service
- Provide a way to pass a custom requirements.txt files on provision step
- Provide a way to pass a custom packages.txt files on provision step
- RBAC
- Support for Google OAUTH
- Flower
- Secure Flower install
- Provide a way to inject environment variables into airflow
- Split services into multiples files
- Auto Scalling for workers
- Use SPOT instances for workers
- Maybe use the AWS Fargate to reduce costs
Special thanks to villasv/aws-airflow-stack, an incredible project, for the inspiration.
