Astro Remote Execution Agent 1.0.0​

  • Release date: April 22, 2025

Introducing the Remote Execution Agent​

With the release of Airflow 3.0, Astro now supports Remote Execution of dags with the Astro Remote Execution Agent. The Remote Execution Agent allows you to keep your sensitive data and execute your dags in your own environment, while still leveraging Astro features like day zero Airflow Runtime support, observability, and user management. The Astro Remote Execution Agent manages running the Workers, Triggerer, and Dag Processors in your environment, while the Airflow Metadata Database, Scheduler, Web/API Server, and Remote Execution API remain in the Astro Orchestration plane.

See Remote Execution Agents for installation, configuration, and advanced options.
