Hi Team! I wanted to sync a airbyte connection using ecs task under a state machine. Is there any support for that? Something similar to AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator for Airflow?

I'm sorry, but as of the current information available, Airbyte does not support deployment on ECS. The current iteration of Airbyte relies on Docker containers being able to create other Docker containers, which ECS does not permit. However, Airbyte is planning to revise this strategy soon to be compatible with ECS and other container services [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-aws-ecs). As for the AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator, it is specific to Apache Airflow and there is no direct equivalent mentioned for ECS in the provided extracts. The AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator allows you to trigger Airbyte OSS synchronization jobs from Apache Airflow [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-the-airflow-airbyte-operator). For more information or updates on ECS support, you might want to follow this [GitHub issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/4847) as suggested in a previous [Slack conversation](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1662560114370199).

@kapa.ai Is there any way to configure the AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator without the airbyte_conn_id parameter?
k
Based on the information provided in the extracts, the
airbyte_conn_id
parameter is required when configuring the
AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator
. This parameter is used to specify the name of the Airflow HTTP Connection pointing at the Airbyte API, which tells Airflow where the Airbyte API is located. Without this parameter, Airflow would not know where to find the Airbyte API. Here is an example of how to use it in a DAG:
Copy code
python from airflow import DAG   from airflow.utils.dates import days_ago   from airflow.providers.airbyte.operators.airbyte import AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator      with DAG(dag_id='trigger_airbyte_job_example',    default_args={'owner': 'airflow'},    schedule_interval='@daily',    start_date=days_ago(1)    ) as dag:       money_to_json = AirbyteTriggerSyncOperator(    task_id='airbyte_money_json_example',    airbyte_conn_id='airbyte_conn_example',    connection_id='1e3b5a72-7bfd-4808-a13c-204505490110',    asynchronous=False,    timeout=3600,    wait_seconds=3    )
In this example,
airbyte_conn_id
is set to
'airbyte_conn_example'
. This should be replaced with the name of your Airflow HTTP Connection that points to your Airbyte API. For more information, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-the-airflow-airbyte-operator).
