Getting started with Managed Service for Apache Airflow™

To get started with the service:

1. Create a cluster.
2. Open the Apache Airflow™ web interface.

Getting startedGetting started

1. Go to the management console and log in to Yandex Cloud or sign up if not signed up yet.

2. If you do not have a folder yet, create one:

   1. In the management console, select the appropriate cloud in the list on the left.

   2. At the top right, click Create folder.

   3. Enter the folder name. The naming requirements are as follows:

      • The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
      • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
      • The first character must be a letter and the last character cannot be a hyphen.

   4. (Optional) Enter a description of the folder.

   5. Select Create a default network. This will create a network with subnets in each availability zone. Within this network, a default security group will be created, inside which all network traffic is allowed.

   6. Click Create.

   Security group settings do not affect access to the Apache Airflow™ web interface.

3. Make sure your account has the vpc.user role and the managed-airflow.editor role or higher for creating a cluster.

4. Create a Yandex Object Storage bucket for storing Managed Service for Apache Airflow™ DAG files.

5. Create a service account.

6. Assign the service account the managed-airflow.integrationProvider role for a folder or bucket.

7. Grant the READ permission for the bucket to the service account.

Create a clusterCreate a cluster

1. In the management console, select the directory where you want to create a cluster.
2. Select Managed Service for Apache Airflow™.
3. Click Create a cluster.
4. Set the cluster parameters and click Create. For more information, see Creating clusters.
5. Wait until the cluster is ready: its status on the Managed Service for Apache Airflow™ dashboard will change to Running and its state, to Alive. This may take some time.

Open the Apache Airflow™ web interfaceOpen the Apache Airflow™ web interface

You can manage Apache Airflow™ through the web interface. Only users with the managed-airflow.user role or higher can use it. To get started with the Apache Airflow™ web interface:

1. In the management console, open the cluster page.

2. Go to the Managed Service for Apache Airflow™ web server page.

3. In the web interface that opens, enter the credentials:

   • Username: Admin
   • Password: Admin user password that you set when creating a cluster

For more information about how to use the web interface, see the Apache Airflow™ documentation.

In addition to the web interface, you can use the Apache Airflow™ API. For more information, see Working with Apache Airflow™ interfaces.
