Attention Airflow users, @tall-lock-23197 recently created a FlyteOperator in Airflow, and would love if some of you can upvote this operator - https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/22646

I’ve started a discussion in the devlist: https://lists.apache.org/thread/b55g3gydgmqmhow6f7xzzbm5t0gmhs2x. It’d be nice if some of you could share your thoughts. Only on getting some upvotes will the operator be merged into the Airflow repository. Thanks in advance!

@tall-lock-23197 to clarify, do folks need to add “+1s” or specific comments to the discussion thread you started?

To the issue itself

I was reading through the linked discussion thread in the issue: https://lists.apache.org/thread/t1k3d0518v4kxz1pqsprdc78h0wxobg0 and I noticed they talked about testing the provider

So I would say all future providers (if they are using some external
service) will have to have system tests implemented. That means few
things: first of all, there should be systems tests, secondly, there
should be some way (credits, free accounts with enough capacity to run
regular testing in an automated way - donated to Airflow in order to
be able to support a provider). We have not yet discussed the last
point (credits and system tests being condition) but this seems like
we are heading towards - with Amazon and Google providers leading the
effort of implementing system tests (we already got credits and
commitments from both).

which I think is a good point before an operator is added to airflow. Is there currently a hosted flyte option that could be used to enable this?

Flyte is an open source, linux foundation project, good thing is the test can be run on any machine with docker

So they could be run with the credits provided by AWS/GCP. Sounds good

@broad-monitor-993, either one works.
