Ambari server package for RHEL 8

[#1]

How to get access for archive.cloudera.com to download packages for ambari server repo for rhel 8.

Hi @Vijay11 

You didn't say which release of Ambari server you're interested in, so I strongly recommend that you first consult the Cloudera Support Matrix on Cloudera's website, to confirm that your desired version of Ambari server is actually available for the release of RHEL you are targeting. The Ambari project at Apache might have different OS support levels available, although you should be aware that the Ambari project was retired in January of this year.

As far as access to the repository you mentioned, last year Cloudera changed their download policy and now to download Ambari binaries from Cloudera's private repository, you need a valid subscription. Please see and carefully read the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF.

Toward the end of that announcement, you will see a section subtitled Ambari 2.7.x.x and HDP 3.x.x.x. You should follow the appropriate hyperlink underneath that and then carefully read the documentation. Note that the credentials to access the private repository where Cloudera is now distributing releases of Ambari are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community.

Hi Billl,
Thanks for your response.

We are looking the repository for Ambari 2.7.6. Please also support how can we get paid access to access private repositories and cost for subscription.

Thanks

I cannot offer you any assurances that Cloudera maintains a repository for Ambari 2.7.6. I say that because, while Cloudera continues to support customers using Ambari in accordance with its associated products' support lifecycle, Cloudera announced it was ending its involvement in the Ambari open source community in 2021. The part of that announcement that is relevant to your questions is this paragraph:

Please note that Cloudera does not support direct installation of Apache Ambari 2.7.6. Although 2.7.6 contains numerous patches provided by Cloudera (some of which were delivered separately as hotfix releases to customers); the 2.7.6 release is not itself a Cloudera release.

You should carefully read the whole thing.

As far as how you can get paid access to access the private repositories and the costs for a Cloudera subscription, the only way to obtain answers to those questions is to get in touch with the Cloudera sales team. Once you make contact with someone there, be sure to tell them that you're looking to gain access to a repository, if any, for Ambari 2.7.6.. Note that as of this writing, Cloudera recommends upgrading to the latest version of CDP Private Cloud Base as soon as possible, as it has a richer set of features, is up-to-date and remains under standard Cloudera support through August 2024.
