ambari-bootstrap

Collection of tools for bootstrapping Apache Ambari & deploying clusters

There are several tools:

ambari-bootstrap.sh - script which installs & configures Ambari along with it's pre-requisites.
./deploy/ - tools to quickly deploy clusters using Ambari
./providers/ - tools for various infrastructure/Cloud providers

ambari-bootstrap.sh

Purpose

Install & configure ambari-agent and/or ambari-server along with any pre-requisites.

Supports:

RedHat Enterprise Linux & CentOS 6
Planned support: Ubuntu. Welcoming contribution for any others

Requires:

'root' or 'sudo' access
Internet access and functioning yum/apt repositories.

Usage

Quick start (ambari-agent only):
- Fetch and then execute: sudo sh ./ambari-bootstrap.sh
- Or, if you trust me: curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seanorama/ambari-bootstrap/master/ambari-bootstrap.sh | sudo -E sh

With options (showing install of Ambari agent, server, Oracle Java, and registering to an Ambari Server such that SSH keys aren't required)

export install_ambari_agent=true
export install_ambari_server=true
export java_provider=oracle
export ambari_server=myserver.domain.local
sudo sh ./ambari-bootstrap.sh

Configuration

By default the script runs with these parameters:

install_ambari_agent=true   ## Install the ambari-agent package.
install_ambari_server=false ## Install the ambari-server package.
java_provider=open          ## Which Java provider to use ('open' or 'oracle').
ambari_server=localhost     ## Hostname of the Ambari Server.
                            ##   Allowing agents to register themselves with the
                            ##   server so you do not need to distribute SSH keys.
ambari_version=1.7.0        ## Used to determine which repo/source to get packages from.
                            ##   Only tested with 1.7.0
ambari_repo=...             ## The ambari.repo file to use for yum. See file for default
                            ##   and change at your own risk.

Questions

I need to run this against a large number of hosts

There are a few options:

a. If the servers are deployed through automation (such as with CloudProviders), you can include it in that orchestration. See ./providers/aws/ for an example. b. Pass the script to the servers a distributed ssh tool, such as pdsh. You could do this directly with SSH but ‘pdsh’ is more efficient.

bootstrap_url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seanorama/ambari-bootstrap/master/ambari-bootstrap.sh
ambari_server=p-workshop-ops01.cloud.hortonworks.com  ## this is the internal hostname of the ambari_server. Likely different than the host you will SSH too.

## install the ambari-server
pdsh -w user@p-workshop-ops01.cloud.hortonworks.com "curl -sSL ${bootstrap_url} | install_ambari_server=true sh"

## install to all other nodes. See ‘man pdsh’ for the various ways you can specify hosts.
pdsh -w p-workshop-ops0[2-4].cloud.hortonworks.com "curl -sSL ${bootstrap_url} | ambari_server=${ambari_server} sh"

I want to install Ambari & then deploy HDP using blueprints

After deploying the server & agents, you can quickly deploy HDP using Ambari Blueprints. See more in ./api-examples/.

Alternatively, use the script from ./deploy/ to generate an Ambari Blueprint and deploy the cluster.

For example, this will deploy to a single node & then deploy with all HDP services which are supported by Ambari Blueprints.

yum -y install git python-argparse
git clone https://github.com/seanorama/ambari-bootstrap
cd ambari-bootstrap
export install_ambari_server=true
./ambari-bootstrap.sh
cd deploy
bash ./deploy-recommended-cluster.bash

If deploying to multiple nodes, install to all of the agent machines 1st, as described earlier, and then run the above on the server.
