Maintaining Ambari is not easy for its complex architecture. There are many Configuration Management Tools such as Puppet, Ansible for alternatives. So for me, I will try to use Puppet or Ansible to deploy and monitor cluster. Using Puppet and Ansible without Ambari-like web ui will be a gap for common users.
