Today, we are excited to announce an enhancement to the Amazon MWAA integration with the Airflow REST API.
The Airflow REST API facilitates a wide range of use cases, from centralizing and automating administrative tasks to building event-driven, data-aware data pipelines.
Amazon MWAA now supports a simplified mechanism for interacting with the Airflow REST API using AWS credentials, significantly reducing complexity and improving overall usability.
The new InvokeRestApi capability allows you to run Airflow REST API requests with a valid SigV4 signature using your existing AWS credentials.
The simplified REST API access enables automating various administrative and management tasks, such as managing Airflow variables, connections, slot pools, and more.
The enhanced API facilitates seamless integration with external events, enabling the triggering of Airflow DAGs based on these events.
Using the dataset-based scheduling feature in Airflow, the enhanced API enables the Amazon MWAA environment to manage the incoming workload and scale resources accordingly, improving the overall reliability and efficiency of event-driven pipelines.
This new capability opens up a wide range of use cases, from centralizing and automating administrative tasks, improving overall usability, to building event-driven, data-aware data pipelines.
By using the new InvokeRestApi, you can streamline your data management processes, enhance operational efficiency, and drive greater value from your data-driven systems.
The enhanced integration between Amazon MWAA and the Airflow REST API represents a significant improvement in the ease of interacting with Airflow’s core functionalities.
