Re: Component integration

Hi Cardon,

 You should be able to write plugins to add various additional tools.
Puppet is not very tightly integrated at all. You should take a look
at the ambari agent code and see if you can fit in your chef scripts.
Unfortunately, adding additonal services is not well documented right
now (should hopefully be in the coming releases).
