Setting up your Oxla Cloud cluster
In order to connect Apache Airflow with Oxla Cloud, you need to have a running cluster. If you don’t have one yet, you can easily create it by following our step by step Oxla Cloud: Quickstart Guide.-
If you already have an existing cluster, that you want to use with Airflow, click the three dots next to it and select Start
-
To view the connection details please select Connect info from the menu available next to the running cluster:
- Address: cluster address
- Port: port number
- Username: username of the user / role that has access to the cluster
- Server certificate: certificate of the server that you can download to be uploaded to the Certificate Store if needed

Connecting Apache Airflow with Oxla Cloud
Now, that you’ve successfully gone through Oxla Cloud cluster creation flow and have its connection information, it’s time to set up Airflow-
Firstly, go to Airflow Connections screen which can be accessed through Admin dropdown menu
- Press the blue button with a + sign to add new record and fill in the form

That’s it! Oxla can now be used in your Apache Airflow DAGs
Example DAG using Oxla
In this section, you can find an example DAG using Oxla, which works the following way:- Processes files with names starting with
NEW_
in a specified directory - Renames the newest file by removing the
NEW_
prefix - Dynamically generates a table name
- Transforms the data by calculating additional column (
date_of_birth
) - Creates a new Oxla table with the generated name
- Loads the transformed data into the table
