I hashed out a quick design doc to state the objectives of this
Dockerization project. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Ambari Dockerization ProjectOverview
The Ambari Dockerization Project aims to modernize and streamline the
current Ambari Docker files, which are outdated and designed solely for
development. The goal is to create a suite of Docker images tailored to
various stages of the Ambari lifecycle—from build and testing to end-user
releases.
Problem Statement
-
Outdated Docker Files: Existing Docker files are limited to a
development environment and are not suitable for end users.
-
Lack of End-User Readiness: There are no readily available Docker images
for users to deploy Ambari in evaluation or integration scenarios.
Proposed Solution
To address these issues, the project proposes a three-pronged approach:
1.
Build Environment Docker Image(s):
-
Purpose: Serve as a base for precommit and nightly builds.
-
Functionality: Automatically install all build prerequisites.
2.
Development and Integration Test Docker Image(s):
-
Purpose: Support development, integration tests, and debugging.
Functionality: Extend the base build images with additional testing,
debugging, and observability tools.
3.
End-User Docker Image(s):
-
Purpose: Provide a ready-to-use image for evaluation and deployment
by end users.
-
Functionality: Release a corresponding Docker image with every new
Ambari version.
Dependencies
-
DockerHub Repository:
-
Action Required: Coordinate with Apache Infra to set up a dedicated
DockerHub repository for Ambari.
Non-Goals
-
Production Deployment:
The Docker images developed under this project are intended solely for
development, testing, and evaluation purposes.
-
Replacement of RPM Artifacts:
This project does not aim to replace existing RPM binary artifacts for
production deployments.
