The Apache Ambari project is part of the Open Data Platform core and is aimed at making Hadoop management simpler by developing software for provisioning, managing, and monitoring Apache Hadoop clusters. Ambari provides an intuitive, easy-to-use Hadoop management web UI backed by its RESTful APIs.

By providing an open source standard for setup and configuration of big data infrastructure, Apache Ambari is helping keep open source big data "open". Hear how your ODP-compatible big data products can better benefit customers by using Apache Ambari for setup, configuration and administration.
