How to manage connections in Airflow

Connections are a core concept of Airflow. As a best-in-class orchestrator, Airflow is designed to integrate with any tool in the data ecosystem, and these integrations require using connections to manage authentication. Understanding connections and setting them up correctly is key to ensuring that Airflow interacts securely with every service you’re orchestrating.

In this webinar, we cover everything you need to know about managing connections in Airflow, including, methods for creating connections, tips for troubleshooting, and how Astro, Astronomer’s managed Airflow service, provides an integrated secrets backend with additional functionality for managing connections across multiple Airflow deployments.
