apache-airflow-providers-edge3

apache-airflow-providers-edge3 package

Handle edge workers on remote sites via HTTP(s) connection and orchestrates work over distributed sites.

When tasks need to be executed on remote sites where the connection need to pass through firewalls or other network restrictions, the Edge Worker can be deployed. The Edge Worker is a lightweight process with reduced dependencies. The worker only needs to be able to communicate with the central Airflow site via HTTPS.

In the central Airflow site the EdgeExecutor is used to orchestrate the work. The EdgeExecutor is a custom executor which is used to schedule tasks on the edge workers. The EdgeExecutor can co-exist with other executors (for example CeleryExecutor or KubernetesExecutor) in the same Airflow site.

Additional REST API endpoints are provided to distribute tasks and manage the edge workers. The endpoints are provided by the API server.

Release: 1.1.0
