I just created "AIP-26 - Production-ready Airflow Docker Image and helm chart <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/AIP-26+-+Production-ready+Airflow+Docker+Image+and+helm+chart>" proposal and would love community feedback and comments.
I would love to know what is your expectation from the Docker image and how you are using production images currently. We were looking at the images available together with Daniel Imberman (including puckel and Astronomer image) and I started to work on a draft POC <https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/6266> to incorporate building of the production-ready image into the CI framework we have. The current POC uses the same Dockerfile we used for CI images but run with production-ready parameters. I made a number of refactorings and simplifications to the build logic and the scripts should be much more sane now (and unit-testable soon). The images are based on Debian buster (Debian 10) LTS released few months ago (so far we used Debian stretch for CI). It still needs some fixes for failing tests (https://travis-ci.org/potiuk/airflow/builds/594281768) but the image itself can be downloaded from my private repo: `docker pull potiuk/airflow:master-python3.5`) The Docker file is available here: https://github.com/PolideaInternal/airflow/blob/prod-image/Dockerfile Once we have good image we will work with Daniel on helm chart so that Airflow can be easily installed on Kubernetes. Any comments and feedback/discussion in the AIP-26 document are welcome !
