Ambari Service Deployer

Inspiration

Quick way to install 3rd party Ambari Services, independent of Ambari distro

What it does

Install Ambari Services hosted on GitHub, which may or may not be in a stack distribution. This aims to gather user-created ambari services, and map out the guthub urls as well as deployement steps such that they can be added on any ambari 2.X distro. Can also pass in a github url to a new Ambari Service and will attempt to create an install block based on current Ambari Installation

How I built it

Bash scripts interacting with Ambari API to generate install path for services

Challenges I ran into

Parsing github README to extract useful installation steps

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Works for 1 github URL on HDP 2.2 and IOP 4.1!

What I learned

Many GitHub ambari services hosted, which may be a few releases behind current Stacks

What's next for Ambari Service Deployer

Better processing/AI of GitHub README to extract steps
