<Update label="December 16, 2025">
  ### New Azure region available on Astro

  You can now create dedicated clusters in the following Azure region:

  * `germanywestcentral`

  ### Centralized access management for Organization Owners

  [Organization Owners](/docs/astro/user-permissions#organization-roles) can now manage user and Team access to Deployments and Workspaces directly from Organization Settings, making it easier to update roles across your Astro Organization.
</Update>

<Update label="December 9, 2025">
  ### Improved VPC networking for AWS dedicated clusters

  Astro now uses a new VPC network architecture for AWS dedicated clusters that increases scalability and reduces IP exhaustion risk by assigning Kubernetes Pod IPs to a secondary CIDR range. Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) ensures all external traffic appears from the primary VPC subnet, allowing you to use smaller VPC ranges and simplify private networking. This architecture is now the default for new clusters created through the Astro UI and can be enabled for existing clusters in coordination with Astronomer support.

  ### New User Details page for centralized user management

  You can now view and edit a member’s Organization, Workspace, and Deployment roles from a single place with the new **User Details** page. Team member names now link to this page, enabling centralized permission management. Team detail pages also allow you to manage Workspace and Deployment roles directly.
</Update>

<Update label="November 18, 2025">
  ### Connect to any Git project in the Astro IDE

  <Info>
    **Preview**

    This feature is in [Preview](/docs/astro/feature-previews).
  </Info>

  The [Astro IDE](/docs/astro/ide-overview) now supports importing projects from any Git provider, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos. All Astro IDE version control and deployment features are available for connected repositories. For workflow details, see [Import a Git project to Astro IDE](/docs/astro/ide-import-git-project).

  ### Workspace-level environment variables

  You can now create and manage environment variables at the Workspace level using the Environment Manager in the Astro UI. This enables you to define environment variables once and share them across multiple Deployments within a Workspace, with the ability to override values per Deployment.

  When you create an environment variable in the Environment Manager, Astro stores it in an
  Astronomer-hosted secrets manager and applies it to Deployments as Kubernetes Secrets. You can configure environment variables to automatically link to all current and future Deployments in your Workspace, or link them to specific Deployments individually.

  Key capabilities include:

  * Share environment variables across multiple Deployments within a Workspace
  * Override environment variable values for individual Deployments
  * Auto-link environment variables to all Deployments by default
  * Use environment variables in branch-based deploys and PR previews
  * Access workspace environment variables in ephemeral test Deployments started in Astro IDE
  * Connect to secrets backends for secure, centralized management of sensitive values

  Environment variables set at the Deployment level take precedence over Workspace-level environment variables, allowing you to maintain both standard configurations and Deployment-specific customizations.

  See [Create environment variables in the Astro UI](/docs/astro/create-and-link-environment-variables) and [Environment
  variables overview](/docs/astro/environment-variables).

  ### Additional improvements

  * In [Astro Observe](/docs/astro/astro-observe), you can now see the last run status for dags and tasks, including those that started but haven’t completed their run.
  * [Astro Observe](/docs/astro/astro-observe) now summarizes task failures by default for SLA breach events caused by a dag failure.

</Update>

<Update label="October 29, 2025">
  ### Enable or disable Astro AI Organization-wide

  Astro now allows Organizations to self-service the enabling and disabling of AI features directly from Organization Settings. Organization Owners can access this new toggle in **Organization Settings → Organization Details** to manage whether Astro AI is enabled for the entire Organization. When **Astro AI** is disabled, all AI-driven features are turned off throughout the platform, including prompting features in the [Astro IDE](/docs/astro/ide-overview) and AI Log Summaries in [Astro Observe](/docs/astro/root-cause-analysis).
</Update>

<Update label="October 21, 2025">
  ### Airflow 3 to Airflow 2 rollback support

  Astro now supports rolling back Deployments from Airflow 3 to Airflow 2, expanding beyond the previous limitation of same-version rollbacks only. This enhancement provides a recovery path if you encounter critical issues after upgrading to Airflow 3. See the [Airflow 3 to Airflow 2 rollback requirements](/docs/astro/airflow3/upgrade-af3#airflow-3-to-airflow-2-rollback-support-and-requirements) for full Airflow 3 to Airflow 2 rollback requirements.

  ### Troubleshoot dag issues in Observe

  You can now troubleshoot dag failures in Astro Observe directly from the Astro dag list. From any dag, click **Open in Observe** to view recent runs, or see upstream and downstream dependencies in lineage. Use Observe to investigate specific runs by viewing the event timeline of task execution and [summarizing task failure logs](/docs/astro/root-cause-analysis), or assess the impact of a recent issue by seeing what [data products](/docs/astro/create-data-products#create-a-data-product) contain the dag.

  To learn more about Observe and get access, click [Observe](https://cloud.astronomer.io/observe) in the Astro UI main navigation.

  * Improved configuration defaults for Airflow 3 API Servers to improve performance, reliability, and resource usage.
</Update>

<Update label="October 1, 2025">
  ### Quick start Deployment creation flow

  A new **Quick Start** mode is available for Deployment creation in the Astro UI. This enhancement introduces template-based Deployment setup, enabling Deployment launches with a single click by selecting from predefined templates for Development, Pre-Production, and Production environments. Switch to advanced Custom Settings for full configuration control. This improvement streamlines the Deployment experience and ensures best-practice configurations are accessible by default. See [Create a Deployment](/docs/astro/create-deployment).

  ### Enhanced Wake Schedule section

  The **Wake Schedules** section has been enhanced and now replaces the previous **Hibernation Schedules**. **Wake Schedules** are available when **Development mode** is enabled. Multiple schedules can be defined for each Deployment, supporting precise timezone, day, and hour targeting for efficient resource utilization and improved cost management. See [Hibernate a Deployment](/docs/astro/deployment-resources#hibernate-a-development-deployment).

  ### Enhanced Authentication for Metrics Export with SigV4Authorization

  Universal Metrics Export now supports SigV4Authorization for AWS Deployments on dedicated clusters. You can use IAM role-based authentication to securely connect to Amazon Managed Prometheus without managing static credentials.

  In the Metrics Export configuration, select **SigV4Authorization** as your authentication type to enable secure, role-based access to your AWS observability services. Configure your AWS Role and Region, then copy the auto-generated trust policy from the new **Trust Policies** tab to complete the setup in your AWS account.

  This authentication method streamlines credential management while following AWS security best practices, making it easier to export Astro metrics to Amazon Managed Prometheus and other AWS-based observability tools.

  ### Additional improvements

  * Updated the Observe Lineage Graph to center on expanded nodes when clicking to expand. Expanding a node now selects and centers the expanded node, improving usability for navigation with selected assets.
  * Synced the run status highlighter’s date range control in Observe Lineage with the asset event timeline panel. The event timeline now reflects the highlighted date range selection.
  * Added a **Final Assets Only** toggle on the Data Product Assets page, allowing you to easily filter and focus on key final assets.
  * Removed the **All DAGs** option from DAG Timeliness alerts to prevent configuration errors and ensure alerts target specific dags.
  * The IP Access List form now supports IPv6 addresses.

  ### Bug fixes

  * Fixed an issue in Observe Lineage Impact Analysis where the downstream asset list did not respect pagination page size.
  * Fixed an issue in the Observe lineage view where entering an invalid date would crash the page.
  * Fixed an issue in the Data Product Lineage Graph where the view would auto-recenter on a selected asset every 5 seconds.
</Update>

<Update label="September 17, 2025">
  ### Build pipelines with the Astro IDE

  <Note>
    **Preview**

    This feature is in [Preview](/docs/astro/feature-previews).
  </Note>

  Astro IDE delivers a browser-based workspace built for Apache Airflow development, testing, and deployment—without requiring local setup. The IDE streamlines dag authoring with project-aware, context-driven AI assistance and allows real-time testing in isolated, ephemeral environments. You can deploy Airflow code directly to Astro or GitHub, import projects from GitHub or the Astro CLI, and enforce coding standards with custom project rules. For details on core workflows and features, see [Astro IDE overview](/docs/astro/ide-overview), [authoring dags](/docs/astro/ide-author-dags), [testing code](/docs/astro/ide-test-run), [deploying code](/docs/astro/ide-deploy), and [importing projects](/docs/astro/ide-import-github-project).

  ### Improved task eviction procedures

  The Astro platform has improved how Kubernetes manages and responds to container out of memory (OOM) situations, specifically with Celery workers. Previously, a single task running on a Celery worker could cause an OOM issue and termination of the entire pod resulting in:

  * Killing all other tasks running on that container (zombie tasks)
  * Losing task logs for both problematic tasks and all other tasks

  These platform changes reduce the number of zombie tasks and improve the availability of task logs for both running and killed OOM task processes.

  By improving how Astro handles zombie tasks and task logs, this change helps you identify high memory consuming tasks and/or tasks with incorrectly configured concurrency. You can use this information to self-serve solutions like increasing worker size, splitting tasks into larger workers, or reducing worker concurrency.

  ### Additional improvements

  * Added support for creating the Remote Execution Agent Token with the Astro API, instead of exclusively through the Astro UI. See the Astro [Platform API changelog](https://www.astronomer.io/docs/astro/api/v-1-beta-1/platform/changelog/2025/9/17), [IAM API changelog](https://www.astronomer.io/docs/astro/api/v-1-beta-1/iam/changelog#2025-09-17-summary), and the [Remote Execution Agent](/docs/astro/remote-execution-configure-agents) docs.
</Update>

<Update label="August 19, 2025">

  * Fixed a bug where Dag Processors would inherit the default of two parsing processes unless you manually set the environment variable `AIRFLOW__DAG_PROCESSOR__PARSING_PROCESSES`.
</Update>

<Update label="August 14, 2025">
  ### Added Triggerer metrics to Deployment analytics

  Added support for [Airflow triggerer metrics and dashboards](/docs/astro/deployment-metrics#airflow-triggerer). You can now view pod count, CPU and memory usage per triggerer Pod, including maximum and average values, triggers per status over time, and running triggerers as timeseries in the **Deployment Analytics** dashboard. These metrics are also available for export with UME.

  ### Additional improvements

  * Added asset search and enhanced navigation controls to the **Observe Lineage Graph**. You can now search for assets, center the graph on a selected asset, and benefit from improved zoom and pan controls.
  * You can now see the Remote Execution Agent **Version** in the Remote Agents Table.

  ### Bug fixes

  * Fixed an issue in the Data Product form where editing an existing Data Product did not reliably load and display the current selections.
</Update>

<Update label="July 30, 2025">

  * Removed non-functional search bars from the **Connections**, **Metrics Exports**, and **Airflow Variables** pages. These will be reintroduced once backend support is implemented.
</Update>

<Update label="July 2, 2025">
  ### Enhanced Support Access

  Enhanced Support Access is now enabled by default for all Organizations to ensure faster, more effective assistance from the Astronomer Support team. This feature grants **Read-only** Admin access to your Organization’s details, allowing the Astronomer Support team to troubleshoot issues in real time and provide premium-level support. Support does not have access to make any changes to your environment, and you can always view access activity through [Audit logs](/docs/astro/audit-logs).

  * Fixed an issue in Astro Executor where logs for previous task attempts on Hosted execution mode Deployments were not retrievable.
</Update>

<Update label="June 11, 2025">
  ### Improved resilience of Airflow UI and API for non-HA Deployments

  Improved reliability for non-HA Deployments by ensuring there's minimal traffic disruption during Pod restarts. With better coordination between shutdown and startup, traffic continues to flow even during infrastructure events like evictions, significantly improving reliability for non-HA customers. These enhancements apply to interactions between both your dags and the Airflow UI and your dags and the API, leading to a 95% availability improvement.

  ### Astro Observe now generally available

  Observe is Astronomer's comprehensive observability solution for [Apache Airflow®](https://airflow.apache.org/) that provides visibility into the health and performance of your data pipelines. Using Observe, you can create data products to monitor performance of key data assets and set SLAs that alert on data product timeliness and freshness. With this GA release, you can now:

  * Visualize real-time health and cost metrics across your data pipelines in a single place with the [pipeline health dashboard](/docs/astro/astro-observe#health)
  * Connect Snowflake cost trends to reliability metrics to pinpoint inefficiencies across your dags and data products
  * Reduce mean time to resolution with [targeted root cause analysis](/docs/astro/root-cause-analysis) that identifies upstream issues that caused SLA breaches or failures
  * Understand failures at a glance with AI Log Summaries, which provide a human-readable explanation of Airflow task logs, including what went wrong, where to look in order to fix it, and how to prevent it from happening again
  * Proactively mitigate risks to data product health and increase alerting coverage with [Observe Insights](/docs/astro/create-data-products#overview)

  To learn more about Observe and get access, click [Observe](https://cloud.astronomer.io/observe) in the Astro UI main navigation.

  To get started using Observe with a step by step tutorial, check out the [Observe Quickstart](/docs/learn/astro-observe-quickstart).

  ### Notification History now available for Astro Alerts

  You can now see a historical log of all previously triggered Alerts for your Organization, and filter them based on status, time range, notification channel, and the Alert that triggered the notification. This lets you see a historical view of issues across deployments and data products, like SLA breaches, dag and task failures, and Deployment health incidents.

  To see the history of all alerts across your Organization, click **Notification History** in the **Alerting** section of the navigation. To see the history for a particular alert, go to the **Alerts** page, where you can see the number of times an alert was sent or failed to send. Click on the number in the **Sent** column to see alert notifications sent for that alert.
