WHAT IS APACHE AIRFLOW
Show the rest of the publisher’s description (19 more lines)
Apache Airflow is the leading open-source platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows, the de facto standard for orchestrating data pipelines. Workflows are defined as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) in plain Python, giving you dynamic pipeline generation, flexible scheduling, backfills, retries, branching, and a rich web UI for monitoring task runs and logs. Airflow ships hundreds of provider packages that integrate with databases, cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure), Kubernetes, Spark, dbt, and HTTP/SQL endpoints, plus a full REST API. This image runs Airflow 3.2 on Python 3.12 with the LocalExecutor (single-node, no external Celery or Redis broker required), persisting all DAG metadata, connections, variables, and run history in a local PostgreSQL database. Apache-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- api-server (web UI + REST API) bound to 127.0.0.1:8080 (loopback only); nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it - port 8080 is never exposed
- Local PostgreSQL metadata database bound to 127.0.0.1 only
- Fernet key (connection/variable encryption), API secret key, PostgreSQL password, and admin login all generated uniquely at first boot, written to /root/airflow-credentials.txt (mode 600) - no secrets baked into the image
- scheduler, api-server, dag-processor, and triggerer run as a non-root airflow system user with UMask 0027
- Anonymous usage analytics disabled
- certbot pre-installed - one command swaps the self-signed cert for a CA-signed one
- UFW firewall pre-configured (only ports 22 and 443 open)
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

Highlights
Highlighted by the publisher on AWS Marketplace.
Apache Airflow security baked in: the api-server is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, the PostgreSQL metadata database is bound to 127.0.0.1, and the Fernet key, API secret key, database password, and admin login are all generated uniquely at first boot. The scheduler, api-server, and dag-processor run as a non-root service with no secrets baked into the image.
CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
Airflow 3.2 on Python 3.12 with the LocalExecutor and a local PostgreSQL metadata database: author, schedule, and monitor data pipelines as Python DAGs, with hundreds of provider integrations and a full REST API. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

Unknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
