Hi Aman, Ambari is meant to work with any distribution, as long as it has a stack definition, which includes list of services, RPM names, etc. For example, https://github.com/apache/ambari/tree/trunk/ambari-server/src/main/resources/stacks Are you trying to build your own stack?

Amabri looks interesting to use. However, i am having a tough time to understand how to install and start apache distributed Hadoop rather than Hortonworks distributed Hadoop using Ambari. Is there a documentation i can refer to. There are instances when i don't want to use Hortonworks distribution and want to use apache distributed Hadoop. Also need some help in understanding naming convention of rpm packages that Ambari expects. Have i missed something in the documentation? -- With Regards, Aman Poonia
