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 or Team plans 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 plans 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.
Ensure the product name search includes Pay As You Go. Other listings from Astronomer are available in AWS Marketplace, but do not include the plans with pay-as-you-go pricing.
  1. On the product overview page, click View purchase options.
  2. Click Subscribe to complete your order.
  3. Finalize your subscription by clicking Set up your account on the subscription confirmation page.
If this button does not immediately appear, wait 1-2 minutes and refresh your page. Alternatively, you can navigate to your AWS Marketplace subscriptions in the AWS Console and complete the set-up process by clicking Set up product under Actions.
  1. Fill out the form on the page. Based on your feature and support needs, select either the Developer or Team plan. Click Complete Registration.
  2. After this step, you will be redirected to create your Astro Organization. If you have an existing Astro Organization, associate it to your AWS account using the form on the Astronomer website.
Your subscription to Astro is not considered active until you complete all of the steps listed above. If you have questions or experience issues, please contact marketplace [at] astronomer.io for assistance.

​
Step 2: 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.
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 [аt] astronomer.io for assistance updating your payment settings.
