Hi John, You are looking at an old version of HDP (1.1). The current version is HDP 1.2.3.1: http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP1/HDP-1.2.3.1/bk_using_Ambari_book/content/ambari-chap1.html HDP 1.2.3.1 is based on Ambari 1.2.2, which is very different from the Ambari version packaged with HDP 1.1 (based on Ambari 0.9). Ambari 1.2.* line is a complete rewrite of Ambari, and does not use Puppet's master-agent architecture unlike its predecessor. It does use Puppet, but only in "local apply" mode to manage package installation, user/group creation, and such, on the managed hosts. The Puppet library that is used by the Ambari agent is completely sandboxed - it will not interfere with your existing Puppet installation.
