Hello Apache Airflow Community, This is a call for the vote to release Helm Chart version 1.22.0.
The release candidate is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.22.0rc1/ airflow-chart-1.22.0-source.tar.gz - is the "main source release" that comes with INSTALL instructions. airflow-1.22.0.tgz - is the binary Helm Chart release. Public keys are available at: https://www.apache.org/dist/airflow/KEYS For convenience "index.yaml" has been uploaded (though excluded from voting), so you can also run the below commands. helm repo add apache-airflow-dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.22.0rc1/ helm repo update helm install airflow apache-airflow-dev/airflow airflow-1.22.0.tgz.prov - is also uploaded for verifying Chart Integrity, though not strictly required for releasing the artifact based on ASF Guidelines. $ helm gpg verify airflow-1.22.0.tgz gpg: Signature made Mon Jun 1 00:54:39 2026 CEST gpg: using RSA key 5E5FD9EF639B70A80D7B9730B31140BBB84DC54D gpg: Good signature from "Jarek Potiuk (apache) [email protected]" [ultimate] plugin: Chart SHA verified. sha256:1f7d1dfe3d58e2c54899950aba907a43625a18c8b6fb3c54760c21592129a5b6 The documentation is available at https://airflow.staged.apache.org/docs/helm-chart/1.22.0/index.html. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours (2026-06-04 00:32 UTC) or until the necessary number of votes is reached. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20260604T0032&p0=136&font=cursive Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". The test procedure for PMC members is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_HELM_CHART.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for contributors and members of the community who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_HELM_CHART.md#verify-the-release-candidates-by-contributors Consider this my (binding) +1. For license checks, the .rat-excludes files are included, so you can run the following to verify licenses (just update your path to rat): tar -xvf airflow-chart-1.22.0-source.tar.gz cd airflow-chart-1.22.0 java -jar apache-rat-0.18.jar chart -E .rat-excludes Please note that the version number excludes the rcX string, so it's now simply 1.22.0. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. The status of testing the Helm Chart by the community is kept here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/67821 Thanks, Jarek Potiuk
