When will MWAA support newer versions of Airflow?

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) already supports the latest versions of Apache Airflow. As of September 26, 2024, MWAA supports Apache Airflow version 2.10, which is the latest minor release. Prior to that, on July 9, 2024, MWAA added support for Apache Airflow version 2.9.

Both versions introduce several enhancements. Apache Airflow 2.10 features a new Dark Mode, dynamic dataset scheduling, and new task-level metrics for better resource utilization visibility. Apache Airflow 2.9 introduced new API endpoints for improved dataset management, custom names in dynamic task mapping, and advanced scheduling options.

If you're using an older version of Airflow, you can upgrade to these newer versions. For minor version upgrades (like from 2.4.z to 2.5.z), you can use in-place version upgrades. However, for major version upgrades (like from 1.y.z to 2.y.z), you'll need to create a new environment and migrate your resources.

AWS regularly updates MWAA to support new Airflow versions as they become available, so you can expect continued support for future releases.
