Hi Simone, If I recall your previous email, you said you want to use an Ubuntu VM. Can you use Centos 6 or 7 instead?
The reason I ask is that for Centos there is an “Ambari manual install” procedure, which does not require Docker, Vagrant, or Ansible on the server. In this scenario you just install Docker on your development machine (I use a Mac), build the Metron RPMs and Ambari MPack there, scp them to the server, and proceed with Ambari install. This is in fact my main lab test method. But with Ubuntu, I’m not aware of a documented procedure for Ambari manual install, only install with Ansible playbooks combined with a Docker-based build. You’d have to figure out for yourself how to generate an ‘apt’ package, etc., instead. Perhaps other community members with more Ubuntu experience could assist here. Regarding 0.4.0 vs 0.3.1: At this point, 0.3.1 is several months old, from Feb 23. There have been about 140 commits since then, including both bug fixes and feature developments. However, I don’t think there have been major changes in the MaaS feature.

Currently, I would start installing Metron in a single VM to do my tests. I don't know which are the differences between 0.3.1 and 0.4.0. Unfortunately for me, my CPU does not support virtualization. That means that I cannot use Docker. The only workaround that I found is to use AWS directly but for me that I have never used Mentor it could be a so big step... So the question is, do I lose many things if I start with Mentor 0.3.1 into a single VM without Docker? Best regards, Simone
