Cloud Composer 1 is in the post-maintenance mode. Google does not release any further updates to Cloud Composer 1, including new versions of Airflow, bugfixes, and security updates. We recommend planning migration to Cloud Composer 2.
This page describes how to use the Google Kubernetes Engine operators to create
clusters in Google Kubernetes Engine and to launch
Kubernetes pods
in those clusters.
Google Kubernetes Engine operators run Kubernetes pods in a specified cluster,
which can be a separate cluster that is not related to your environment.
In comparison, KubernetesPodOperatorruns Kubernetes pods
in the cluster of your environment.
This page walks you through an example DAG that creates a Google Kubernetes Engine
cluster with the GKECreateClusterOperator, uses the GKEStartPodOperator
with the following configurations, and then deletes it with
the GKEDeleteClusterOperator afterward:
We recommend using the latest version of Cloud Composer. At a
minimum, this version must be supported as part of
the deprecation and support policy.
GKE operator configuration
To follow along with this example, put the entire gke_operator.py
file in your environment's dags/ folder or
add the relevant code to a DAG.
Create a cluster
The code shown here creates a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster with two node pools,
pool-0 and pool-1, each of which has one node. If needed, you can set
other parameters from the Google Kubernetes Engine API as part of the body.
Before the release of apache-airflow-providers-google version 5.1.0,
it was not possible to pass the node_pools object in
the GKECreateClusterOperator. If you use Airflow 2, make sure that your
environment uses apache-airflow-providers-google version 5.1.0 or later. You
can install a newer version of this PyPI
package by specifying apache-airflow-providers-google and >=5.1.0 as the
required version.
As a workaround for Airflow 1 users, we utilize
the BashOperator and gcloud to create these node pools.

Minimal configuration
To launch a pod in your GKE cluster with
the GKEStartPodOperator, only the project_id, location, cluster_name,
name, namespace, image, and task_id options are required.
When you place the following code snippet in a DAG, the pod-ex-minimum task
succeeds as long as the previously listed parameters are defined and valid.

Template configuration
Airflow supports using
Jinja Templating.
You must declare the required variables (task_id, name, namespace,
and image) with the operator. As shown in the following example, you can
template all other parameters with Jinja, including cmds, arguments,
and env_vars.
Without changing the DAG or your environment, the ex-kube-templates task
fails. Set an Airflow variable called my_value to make this DAG succeed.

Pod Affinity Configuration
When you configure the affinity parameter in the GKEStartPodOperator, you
control what nodes to schedule pods on, such as nodes only in a particular
node pool. When you created your cluster, you created two node pools named
pool-0 and pool-1. This operator dictates that pods must run only in
pool-1.
