Duplicate cluster configuration on Hortonworks Sandbox

[#1]

Hi experts,

Let me explain to you my scenario :

As a consultant and given a Hortonworks cluster in our customer's compagny. The problem is that Dev/Testing cluster get often saturated which slow development process whithin my team. I was asking myself if it was possible to "duplicate" Dev cluster's config (everything: HBase, ELK, Hive ...etc) and import it on our local machines containing Hortonworks Sandbox, to transform Sandbox into a tiny-cluster (config side of course) so that I can contact the cluster admin to suggest him/her this approach.

Thanks in advance,

Tahar.

Sandbox is a single node env. getting started environment. If you have the RAM and CPU you can build a docker dev HDP cluster using DockerDoop. @Sam Hjelmfelt

You could try to export the blueprint from your production cluster and then modify it for your small docker bassed dev/test cluster.
