.. _LocalKubernetesExecutor:

LocalKubernetes Executor

.. note::

As of Airflow 2.7.0, you need to install the ``cncf.kubernetes`` provider package to use
this executor. This can be done by installing ``apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes>=7.4.0``
or by installing Airflow with the ``cncf.kubernetes`` extras:
``pip install 'apache-airflow[cncf.kubernetes]'``.

.. note::

``LocalKubernetesExecutor`` is no longer supported starting from Airflow 3.0.0. You can use the
:ref:`Using Multiple Executors Concurrently <using-multiple-executors-concurrently>` feature instead,
which provides equivalent functionality in a more flexible manner.

The :class:~airflow.providers.cncf.kubernetes.executors.local_kubernetes_executor.LocalKubernetesExecutor allows users to simultaneously run a LocalExecutor and a KubernetesExecutor. An executor is chosen to run a task based on the task's queue.

LocalKubernetesExecutor provides the capability of running tasks with either LocalExecutor, which runs tasks within the scheduler service, or with KubernetesExecutor, which runs each task in its own pod on a kubernetes cluster.
