From the Apache Ambari docs: "The Apache Ambari project is aimed at making Hadoop management simpler by developing software for provisioning, managing, and monitoring Apache Hadoop clusters. Ambari provides an intuitive, easy-to-use Hadoop management web UI backed by its RESTful APIs."

This module aims to manage the infrastructure bits surrounding Ambari, such as package installation, service state management.

Note this module is currently work in progress, however any breaking changes will only be introduced in new minor versions.

Current scope of this module is to provide package installation, service state management and support for running the unattended default server bootstrap.

• Installs ambari-server
• Optionally manages package repository
• Runs unattended ambari-server setup
• Manages the ambari-server service

No extra setup requirements needed.

Use class ambari::server to manage the Ambari server installation. Version to install is set in the ambari class in case we expand the possibility to manage ambari agents

Class: ambari::server

class { '::ambari::server':
  use_repo   => true,
  db_backend => 'mysql'
}
