astro deployment connection copy

This command is only available on Astro.
This command copies all connections from one instance to another, but does not copy encrypted data, like passwords, or some extras, such as when they contain private keys.

Copy Airflow connections from one Astro Deployment to another. Airflow connections are stored in the target Deployment’s metadata database and appear in the Airflow UI.

Usage

1astro deployment connection copy

This command only copies Airflow connections that were configured through the Airflow UI or otherwise stored in the Airflow metadata database.

This command is recommended for automated workflows. To run this command in an automated process such as a CI/CD pipeline, you can generate an API token, then specify the ASTRO_API_TOKEN environment variable in the system running the Astro CLI:

$export ASTRO_API_TOKEN=<your-token>

See Organization, Workspace, and Deployment API token documentation for more details about ways to use API tokens.
