Apache Airflow (or simply Airflow) is a platform to programmatically author, schedule, and
monitor workflows.
When workflows are defined as code, they become more maintainable, versionable, testable,
and collaborative.
Use Airflow to author workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of tasks. The Airflow
scheduler executes your tasks on an array of workers while following the specified
dependencies. Rich command line utilities make performing complex sugeries on DAGs a snap.
The rich user interface makes it easy to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor
progress, and troubleshoot issues when needed.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the Amazon EC2 instance size you run BastionLinux/Airflow on. Each dimension maps to one specific EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU/accelerator capacity you choose. Smaller general-purpose types like t3.micro cost less per hour, while large memory-optimized, storage-dense, and accelerated types (such as r8i, i7ie, p5, and inf2 families) cost more. There are no tiers or commitments. You select the instance that fits your Airflow workflow load, and billing follows your actual running hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate actually cover when I run BastionLinux/Airflow?
The rate is the software charge for the EC2 instance type you launch, billed per running hour. It covers the pre-built Airflow platform for authoring, scheduling, and monitoring workflows defined as Python DAGs. Underlying AWS compute and storage fees are separate and appear on your AWS bill.
Am I charged when my Airflow instance is stopped?
The software meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. Storage attached to a stopped instance may still incur standard AWS storage fees, but those are separate from the per-hour software charge shown in the pricing table.
If I scale Airflow across more worker nodes, how does my cost change?
Airflow scales horizontally by distributing tasks across multiple worker nodes. Each node runs on its own EC2 instance and is billed separately by the hour for its instance type. Total cost adds up across every running instance, so more or larger workers raise your combined hourly charge.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
