Where does the Ambari instance live that powers Cloudbreak?

[#1]

If I install Cloudbreak on my linux server - does Cloudbreak install Ambari on a Docker instance (if Ambari is not installed on the server)?

Hi @Ryan Cicak,

If you install Cloudbreak deployer on your server, and let's say you want to use AWS for cluster provisioning, then Cloudbreak will create AWS VMs to your cluster on AWS including for Ambari. So you will have Ambari as well as all your nodes running on AWS. You will find the Ambari adresse in the Cloudbreak UI once the cluster is created (see the following screenshot from the official doc).

And yes, it uses Docker underneath.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Thanks

Hi @Ryan Cicak,

Cloudbreak is able to provision Ambari clusters at different providers (OpenStack, AWS, GCP, Azure) on your behalf.

If you would like to run a multi-node Ambari cluster on your local machine the following project is able to do that by using docker containers: https://github.com/sequenceiq/docker-ambari
