Instructions:

We will have several USB drives in the class.

1. Copy the .tar files from USB drive.

2. For each file run:

docker load --input <file-name>

3. Navigate back to the repo directory. Follow steps 2 and 3 from above.

Tutorial:

The dags directory is where you will put the DAGS you will create. It is mapped into /usr/local/airflow/dags in the containers.

Put files your DAGS create locally in the container in /tmp/work

Consult the solutions directory or DAG examples if you need to.
