+# Airflow
+
+This example shows how to run the `dstack` CLI and API from Airflow pipelines.
+It uses Airflow 2 and the [TaskFlow API](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/tutorial/taskflow.html).
+
+## Preparing a virtual environment
+
+`dstack` and Airflow may have conflicting dependencies, so it's recommended to install
+`dstack` to a separate virtual environment available to Airflow.
+
+Ensure the virtual environment created for `dstack` is
+available to all the workers in case your Airflow runs in a distributed environment.
+
+## Running dstack CLI
+
+To run the `dstack` CLI from Airflow,
+we can run it as regular bash commands using [BashOperator](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/howto/operator/bash.html).
+The only special step here is that we need to activate a virtual environment before running `dstack`:
+
+```python
+
+DSTACK_VENV_PATH = "/path/to/dstack-venv"
+
+@dag(...)
+def pipeline(...):
+    ...
+    @task.bash
+    def dstack_cli_apply_venv() -> str:
+        return (
+            f"source {DSTACK_VENV_PATH}/bin/activate"
+            f" && cd {DSTACK_REPO_PATH}"
+            " && dstack init"
+            " && dstack apply -y -f task.dstack.yml"
+        )
+```
+
+## Running dstack API
+
+To run the `dstack` API from Airflow, we can use [ExternalPythonOperator](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/howto/operator/python.html#externalpythonoperator). Specify a path to the Python binary inside the dstack virtual environment, and
+Airflow will run the code inside that virtual environment:
+
+```python
+
+DSTACK_VENV_PYTHON_BINARY_PATH = f"{DSTACK_VENV_PATH}/bin/python"
+
+@dag(...)
+def pipeline(...):
+    ...
+    @task.external_python(task_id="external_python", python=DSTACK_VENV_PYTHON_BINARY_PATH)
+    def dstack_api_submit_venv() -> str:
+        from dstack.api import Client, Task
+
+        task = Task(
+            commands=[
+                "echo 'Running dstack task via Airflow'",
+                "sleep 10",
+                "echo 'Finished'",
+            ]
+        )
+        # Pick up config from `~/.dstack/config.yml`
+        # or set explicitly from Ariflow Variables.
+        client = Client.from_config()
+
+        run = client.runs.submit(
+            run_name="my-airflow-task",
+            configuration=task,
+        )
+        run.attach()
+        try:
+            for log in run.logs():
+                sys.stdout.buffer.write(log)
+                sys.stdout.buffer.flush()
+        except KeyboardInterrupt:
+            run.stop(abort=True)
+        finally:
+            run.detach()
+```
