Fast learner — But the basics first — Amazon MWAA
Sometimes we like it RAW just like the way we sing it in
“Shimmy, shimmy, ya, shimmy, yam, shimmy, yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away”
So do not install anything like a heavy 4GB sucker of local Apache Airflow on your bare metal.
In a local environment, you would typically install and configure all the necessary software components, such as Apache Airflow, a database, and a web server, on your own servers or virtual machines. You would also be responsible for managing the underlying infrastructure, such as networking, storage, and security.
In contrast, with Amazon MWAA, Amazon manages the infrastructure and handles tasks such as provisioning servers, installing software, and configuring the network. This allows you to focus on creating and managing your workflows, without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
By the way, What are the components of Amazon MWAA?
- Apache Airflow: Amazon MWAA is based on the open-source Apache Airflow platform, which provides a framework for creating, scheduling, and monitoring workflows.
- AWS Environment: Amazon MWAA provides a fully managed environment that is designed to run Apache Airflow workloads. This environment includes infrastructure resources such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets.
