avionix-airflow 0.2.2

A package for deploying airflow to kubernetes with included monitoring (grafana and elasticsearch integration)

Why are there so many guides on how to set up Apache Airflow when the code could just be given to you?!

Currently supported platforms are Minikube and AWS EKS (managed nodegroups only), pull requests adding support for GKE and AKS are welcome.

Configuration

Avionix airflow is configured by using Options objects, there are currently 4 different objects:
