Hi Airflow community, Following the [DISCUSSION] thread [1], I'd like to call a vote on accepting the **Akeyless Vault Platform** provider into the Apache Airflow monorepo as an incubating community provider, per the process in ACCEPTING_PROVIDERS.rst [2].
## Provider overview Akeyless (https://www.akeyless.io/) is a SaaS-based secrets management and zero-trust access platform. The provider adds native Airflow integration for managing secrets across DAG workflows. **Components:** | Component | Class | |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | Hook | `airflow.providers.akeyless.hooks.akeyless.AkeylessHook` | | Connection type | `akeyless` (custom UI fields for 8 auth methods) | | Secrets Backend | `airflow.providers.akeyless.secrets.akeyless.AkeylessBackend` | **Authentication methods:** API Key, AWS IAM, GCP, Azure AD, Universal Identity (UID), JWT/OIDC, Kubernetes, Certificate **Dependencies:** `akeyless>=5.0.0` (Apache 2.0 licensed, ~350K monthly PyPI downloads). Optional: `akeyless_cloud_id` for cloud-based auth. The hook is a thin wrapper over the official `akeyless` Python SDK. The secrets backend follows the same pattern as the HashiCorp Vault backend. ## Pull request https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/64754 The PR includes: - Full RST documentation (connection guide, secrets backend guide) - Unit tests for hook (11 tests) and secrets backend (8 tests) - Example system test DAG - `provider.yaml` with connection field schema - All provider CI checks passing (Non-DB, DB, Compat, MyPy, docs build) ## Stewards and sponsoring committer - **Barak Abekasis** (@baraka-akeyless) — Akeyless integrations team (steward) - **Dean Sher** (@deanshak) — [Product Architect] (co-steward) - **Sponsoring committer:** [Elad Kal] (@eladkal) ## Incubation commitment We commit to meeting incubation health metrics within 6 months: - Timely PR reviews (< 7 days) - Issue triage and resolution - Keeping dependencies up to date - Participating in quarterly governance updates ## Vote Please vote: [ ] +1 Accept apache-airflow-providers-akeyless as an incubating provider [ ] +0 No opinion [ ] -1 Do not accept (please provide reason) The vote follows the Apache Software Foundation rules for Votes on Code Modification [3]. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.
