Hi Asif, Thanks for your interest in Apache Ambari and your question regarding distributions that can be used via Ambari. Apache Ambari is intended and designed to be distribution-agnostic. If you look closely at the source, it has a place to hold stack definitions under ambari-server/src/main/resources/stacks. There, you will see the definition for HDP (and HDP only), as HDP is the only distribution that has received contributions so far. However, there is no reason it should stay this way. There's nothing forbidding other distributions to be provisioned/managed by Ambari.
Please take a look at the "Stacks and Services" wiki [1] as a starting point to learn about this extensibility. It would be great to see distributions other than HDP to work with Ambari.
