07-13, 22:00–22:45 (US/Pacific), Tokyo Meetup, [Sessions start: Tuesday 14.07 1 pm (Monday 13.07 9 pm PDT)]

This talk will guide you trough internals of the official Production Docker Image of Airflow. It will show you the foreseen use cases for it and how to use it in conjunction with the Official Helm Chart to make your own deployments.


This talk is all about the new Production Docker Image officially supported by the community. It's been long in the process of being created but finally it should be ready for use and available by all the users.

The talk describes several aspects of the Docker image:

  • what makes it production-ready
  • what has been implemented to make the image official
  • how community makes sure the image stays up-to-date
  • how the image can be used for production - Deployments using Helm Chart, Kubernetes Operator and other mechanisms
  • what's next and how community can help with testing and improving it
