Ambari Stacks

Ambari Stacks
• Separate “the Stack” from “Ambari”
• Make it easier to bring more than a traditional
“Hadoop Stack” under Ambari management
• Defining a consistent Service lifecycle management
interface that can be extended
• Dynamically add Stacks + Services definitions
Page 15

Stack Details
• Stacks define Services + Repos
–What is in the Stack, and where to get the bits
• Each Service has a definition
–What Components are part of the Service
• Each Service has defined lifecycle commands
–start, stop, status, install, configure
• Lifecycle is controlled via command scripts
• Ability to define “custom” commands
• Ability to “extend” Stacks

Stack Mechanics
• Ambari Server reads Stack definitions on start
• Ambari Server sends a command to Agents
• Agents download Stack definition + command scripts
• Agent executes command
• If the Stack definition changes, Agent will request
latest Stack definition + command scripts

Automating Installs
• Blueprint defines a cluster layout and
component configuration for a Stack
• Provide Blueprint to Ambari to perform
cluster installation (no wizard required)
• Export Blueprint from existing cluster

Ambari Views
• Goal: Customize the Ambari Web experience
• Views compliment Stack Extensibility
– Stack Extensibility makes custom Stack Services available to Ambari
– Views expose custom UI features for Services
• Ambari Admins can entitle “views” to Ambari Web users
– Entitlements framework for finer-grained permissions control for Ambari users
Page 20

View Usage
• Developer Creates a View
• Deploys View to Ambari Server
• Ambari Admin creates instances of Views
• Ambari Admin entitles Views to users

Ambari Futures
• Operations
–Ambari Blueprints
–Component log access + search
–Ubuntu and Windows support
• Extensibility
–Finer-grain user entitlements
–Ambari Views
• Insight
–Troubleshooting + Performance Tuning
–Capacity Planning
