Automating Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)

Purpose

The purpose of this solution is to automate the deployment and configuration of Managed Apache Airflow environments to programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows.

This solution includes two CI/CD pipelines:

  • The provisioning CI/CD Pipeline helps the MWAA Admins teams to:
    • Automate MWAA environments deployment
    • Automate Plugins and Requirements management for MWAA deployed environments
  • The project CI/CD Pipeline helps the MWAA Users teams to:
    • Start a python project with builtin DevOps best practices
    • Continuously integrate and deploy their code and DAGs

Prerequisites

Stack parameters

By default, the stack deploys a basic MWAA environment with the associated pipelines described previously. It will create a new VPC in order to host the MWAA resources. The stack can be customized using the following parameters. To pass a paramater you should use the following command:

cdk deploy -c paramName=paramValue
Parameter Description Default Valid values
vpcId VPC ID where the cluster will be deployed. If none creates a new one and needs the parameter cidr in that case None VPC ID
cidr The cidr for the VPC that will be created to host MWAA resources. Used only if the vpcId is not defined. 172.31.0.0/16 IP CIDR
subnetIds Comma separated list of subnets IDs where the cluster will be deployed. If None looks for private subnets in the same AZ None Subnet IDs list (coma separated)
envName MWAA Environment Name MwaaEnvironment String
envTags MWAA Environment Tags None json ex. '{"Environment":"MyEnv","Application":"MyApp","Reason":"Airflow"}'
environmentClass MWAA Environment Class mw1.small mw1.small, mw1.medium, mw1.large
maxWorkers MWAA Max Workers 1 int
webserverAccessMode MWAA Environment Access mode (private/public) PUBLIC_ONLY PUBLIC_ONLY, PRIVATE_ONLY
secretsBackend MWAA Environment Secrets Backend Airflow Airflow, SecretsManager

Deployment

  • Before using AWS CDK you need to bootstrap your AWS account following the AWS guide here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/bootstrapping.html Quick command:

    cdk bootstrap aws://YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID/YOUR_REGION
  • Define CDK environment variables
    On Linux or MacOS

    export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID
    export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION=YOUR_REGION

    On Windows

    setx CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID
    setx CDK_DEFAULT_REGION YOUR_REGION
  • Launch the Stack
    Replace the <YOUR_VPC_ID> with your VPC ID or refer to the parameters description to create a new VPC by passing a cidr parameter and run the following command:

    cd mwaairflow && \
    pip install . && \
    cdk synth && \
    cdk deploy -c vpcId=<YOUR_VPC_ID>

MWAA is Ready !

This solution deploys a tutorial DAG for your teams to get started ! img.png

Deploy your DAG using the Project CI/CD Pipeline

As part of the CDK deployment, an AWS CodeCommit and an AWS CodePipeline were created in order to continuously build, test and deploy DAGs into your MWAA environment. To deploy the new DAG, the source code should be committed to the CodeCommit repository. This will trigger a CodePipeline run that will build, test and deploy your new DAG and make it available in your MWAA environment. To do so, follow the steps below:

  • Login to the CodeCommit console in your deployment region.
  • Under Source > Repositories you should see a new repository mwaaproject. img.png
  • Push your new DAG in mwaaproject repository under dags. You can either use the CodeCommit console or Git command-line to do so. img.png
  • The new commit triggers a new CodePipeline that will build, test and deploy the new DAG. To the check the Pipeline execution login to CodePipeline console. Under Pipeline > Pipelines you should see mwaaproject-pipeline. img.png
  • Click on mwaaproject-pipeline name to display its details. img.png
  • After checking that the pipeline run is successful, you can verify that the DAG is deployed to the S3 bucket and therefore available in MWAA Console. img.png

Cleanup

To clean up the deployed resources, you can simply run the following command:

cdk destroy

Make sure you are in the root path of the project when you run the command.
