As you have mentioned Cloudera Manager and Ambari provides 2 types of services, installation and then monitoring.

Ambari is open source apache project. Hortonworks provides support and services using their distribution.

You can also use puppet/chef for installation and use Ganglia for monitoring. Ambari internally uses those tools only.

  • Automatic Hadoop installation can be done either by using emr console or command line. Monitoring can be done using ganglia. – Durga Viswanath Gadiraju Dec 20 '15 at 17:10
  • Thanks mr viswanth ,i got one final doubt is ambari is used in horton works windows disto only or we can use that in any other distributions also... – user2631600 Dec 20 '15 at 17:16
  • Ambari is open source and part of all hortonworks distributions. You can manage non hortonworks using ambari. However it does not make sense to manage emr with ambari. – Durga Viswanath Gadiraju Dec 20 '15 at 17:19
