About the Airflow Container:

Now you can enjoy the quick and hassle-free configuration of your workspaces with Kockpit’s pre-configured images. Airflow is a virtual machine image (VMI) that allows you to set up your machines within minutes.

In this Azure MarketPlace Image, we have packed an airflow container inside the virtual machine. The Airflow Dags are stored in the /usr/local directory. Here, You can create and modify your dags.

You don't need to execute a script in order to access Airflow Image. To utilize Airflow, all you have to do is build a virtual machine (VM) from the marketplace.

Airflow’s rich user interface makes it easy to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor progress, and troubleshoot issues when needed. It connects with multiple data sources and can send an alert via email or Slack when a task completes or fails. Airflow is distributed, scalable, and flexible, making it well-suited to handle the orchestration of complex business logic.

The distribution of Airflow is based on Linux and is provided by Kockpit Analytics Pvt. Ltd. Airflow Container is designed for Production Environments on Azure.

• Simple to use: While manual setup can be complex and time-consuming, with the Airflow container image, You just need your VM IP and Port 8181 to connect with your Airflow UI and manage your dags.
• Require less time: No Hassle to deploy airflow in an open environment because it takes a lot of time and effort to deploy airflow in a normal environment or consider a container.
