Hi Edmon, Ambari has all its stacks defined here - https://github.com/apache/ambari/tree/trunk/ambari-server/src/main/resources/stacks
It would contain examples for Apache Spark also.

Thanks, Srimanth. Great to know. Does anyone have, btw, some examples to share of the Ambari stacks for Apache stuff (Spark, etc.)? I would like to use them as starters for my own stacks. Let me just say that there is nothing wrong with HDP. Contrary - I love it, but I also like to "test my character" by working with the bare/base Apache components :-D Thanks again.

You can read about how you can contribute your own service or stack to be managed by Ambari here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Defining+a+Custom+Stack+and+Services Hope that helps.

Is it possible to configure Ambari to use components outside of the HDP setup? Does it have to use HDP at all? Thank you, Edmon
