             Summary: High Availability Ambari Server
                 Key: AMBARI-7896
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-7896
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ambari-server
         Environment: HDP 2.1
            Reporter: Hari Sekhon


Ambari server needs high availability as loss of the Ambari server machine 
would leave it's cluster unmanageable.

This could reuse ZooKeeper for Active/Standby election. I'm not sure if it's 
practical in scalability terms to store the configurations in ZK for management 
of larger clusters, perhaps that could use HA databases such as MySQL 
multi-master or replicate the config itself at the application layer to the 
standby Ambari server.

Right now I guess you can roll your own with Linux HA + DRBD but it feels like 
this should be native as per other components that leverage ZooKeeper.
