             Summary: Reduce Reliance on Ansible for Deployment
                 Key: METRON-667
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-667
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: David M. Lyle
            Assignee: David M. Lyle


In our [Dev Guide and Committer Review Guide 
additions|https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-metron-dev/201701.mbox/%[email protected]%3E]
 discussion, we had
a bit of a side discussion about reducing reliance (perhaps to zero) on
Ansible for our installation.

It seemed there was consensus around that idea (if not, please let me
know), so I propose the following steps to get there:

1) Refactor existing Ansible deployment to use the Ambari MPack to install
metron-common, metron-enrichments and metron-parsers.
2) Regenerate quick-dev to leverage the change.
3) Create rpm packages for all deployed components that don't currently
have them.
     - Sensor probes
     - Sensor stubs
4) Create MPack service defs for the RPMs in (2).
5) Refactor existing Ansible deployment to use the Ambari MPack to install
all services.
6) Regenerate quick-dev to leverage the change.
7) Plan iteration 2 to see if there are other opportunities to reduce our
use of Ansible.

One note: if we decide to go this direction, it'd be helpful if, during the
transition, we stopped adding additional Ansible deployment code.
