Subscribe to Astro from the AWS Marketplace

Astro is a managed service for data orchestration that is built for the cloud and powered by Apache Airflow. Your Airflow infrastructure is managed entirely by Astronomer, enabling you to shift your focus from infrastructure to data.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers can subscribe to Astro with the AWS Marketplace. This enables you to pay for your Astro usage with your existing AWS billing configuration. You can choose to subscribe to the Developer tier for monthly, pay-as-you-go billing or work with our team on an upfront, annual subscription.

The following steps show you how to subscribe to Astro's pay-as-you-go Developer tier via AWS Marketplace.

Step 1: Subscribe to Astro in AWS Marketplace​

  1. Log into your AWS account.

  2. Go to the AWS Marketplace.

  3. Search for Astro by Astronomer - Pay As You Go, or go directly to the product listing.

    tip

    Ensure the product name search includes Pay As You Go. Other listings from Astronomer are available in AWS Marketplace, but do not include the pay-as-you-go Developer tier.

  4. On the product overview page, click View purchase options.

  5. Select Developer (Pay-as-you-go) and click Continue to subscribe.

    tip

    Astronomer recommends you enable Auto Renew to ensure your account remains active. You will only be billed for use on active Deployments, so even with Auto Renew enabled, you will not be billed unless your Deployments consume resources. If you choose not to enable Auto Renew, Astronomer queues your Organization and any active Deployments for deletion when your subscription expires.

Step 2: Associate your AWS Marketplace subscription with your Astro Organization​

info

An Organization is the highest management level on Astro. An Organization contains Workspaces, which are collections of Deployments, or Airflow environments, that are typically owned by a single team. You can manage user roles and permissions both at the Organization and Workspace levels.

  1. Connect an Astro Organization to your AWS account:
    • If you don't have an Astro Organization: From the subscription confirmation page in AWS Marketplace, click Set Up Your Account. If you have issues, you can navigate directly to the set up page.
    • If you have an Astro Organization: Connect your Astro Organization to your AWS account using the form on the Astronomer website.
  2. Fill out the form on the page. Be sure to provide the AWS Account number you used to subscribe to Astro.

Step 3: Start Using Astro​

Your new Astro Organization comes pre-loaded with a set amount of credits. You can begin to create Deployments and run DAGs using these credits right away.

Within 1 business day of completing the AWS Subscription process, the Astronomer team will configure your Astro Organization to use your AWS Billing account. Astronomer will notify you when this is complete.

You can also verify your AWS Account is linked by going to your Astro Organization’s Billing Settings and confirm that the Payment Type in the Payment Method section shows AWS Marketplace.

See the Astro Trial Resources section for more information about what you can do with your Astro trial and Run your first DAG with the CLI to get started.

Canceling your Astro Subscription​

You can cancel your Astro subscription in AWS Marketplace. Before you cancel your subscription, please check that you deleted all Deployments and exported any configuration settings for your Deployment that you want to preserve. If you have any active Deployments, you might see an error or any running tasks might abruptly terminate.

danger

After you cancel your subscription in AWS Marketplace, Astronomer hibernates your Deployments for 30 days. After 30 days, your Deployments are permanently deleted. See Delete a Deployment.

Navigate to AWS Marketplace and follow the instructions for canceling your SaaS subscription.

If you no longer want to use your AWS account for your Astro subscription, please contact billing [at] astronomer.io for assistance updating your payment settings.
