The short answer is probably.
The long answer is as follows. Hortonworks (company spun out of Yahoo for Hadoop development and support) provided a Hadoop "distro" called HDP (kind of like Red Hat). They put a lot of effort (paid programmers) into the HDP (and variants) and Ambari as way to install and manage HDP. So the bill comes due on Hadoop and both Hortonworks and the other "big" Hadoop company, Cloudera combine and re-design the whole lot for on-prem/cloud seamless (fill in marketing buzzwords here). Seems the Hadoop peak on the Gartner Hype curve was a bit too high. The Hadoop ecosystem is still viable and good tech, just got over sold to the VC's (Intel invested $742 million in Cloudera!) In any case, they discontinued and basically "closed sourced" HDP after version 3.1.4 and Ambari 2.7.4. You can ask for a pass code to download new versions but I'm not sure what it will cost (maybe just a call from a salesperson) So yes, "He's dead Jim" unless some community members jump in. And Ambari pretty much only worked turn-key with HDP versions. Hadoop (and friends) sources are still available from the Apache site. I use them quite a bit for rolling my own Hadoop/Spark/Hive/Kafka ... VMs. I use the last open version of HDP and Ambari on our Limulus personal clusters, but at some point may move to a more Apache based home grown install. IMO, Ambari is nice, very slick and a bit over complicated which is basically a true statement for the whole Hadoop Big Data ecosystem. -- Doug > Hi guys, > > Sorry for the inconvenience. > > I'm looking into using Ambari on a new cluster, but as far as I can > tell, there's no releases after 2.7.5 which came in December '19. > > However, the documentation at > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Releasing+Ambari > states that 2.7.x is deprecated and gives instructions on how to build > 2.8.x. > > But I can't find 2.8.x anywhere.. > > Any ideas/suggestions?
