Announcing Apache Airflow 3.0 support in Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow
Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) now supports Apache Airflow version 3.0, the latest major release of the workflow orchestration platform. This release enhances your ability to author, schedule, and monitor complex workflows with greater efficiency and control.
Amazon MWAA is a managed service for Apache Airflow that enables seamless workflow orchestration using the familiar Apache Airflow platform. The availability of Apache Airflow v3.0 on MWAA introduces substantial improvements to workflow orchestration, including a completely redesigned interface for enhanced usability and advanced event-driven scheduling capabilities. This new scheduling system triggers workflows based on external events directly, eliminating the need for separate asset update pipelines. The newly introduced Task SDK in Apache Airflow v3.0 on MWAA help you simplify DAGs by reducing boilerplate code, making workflows more concise, readable, and consistent. Security and isolation are strengthened through the Task Execution API, which restricts direct access to the metadatabase and manages all runtime interactions. This release also features scheduler-managed backfill functionality, providing you better control over historical data processing. Additionally, MWAA now supports Python 3.12, while incorporating critical security improvements and bug fixes that enhance the overall reliability and security of your workflows in Amazon MWAA environments.
You can launch a new Apache Airflow 3.0 environment on Amazon MWAA with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console in all currently supported Amazon MWAA regions.
