> Ambari could simply be added as another service resource with a Server and Agent components.  Since the Ambari service is not tied to a cluster we would need to expose root level services.  Something like ...
> {code}
> api/v1/services/AMBARI
> {
>   "href" : "http://aaa:8080/api/v1/services/AMBARI
> ",
>   "ServiceInfo" : {
>     "service_name" : "AMBARI",
>     "state" : "STARTED",
>     "desired_configs" : { 
>       "global" : {
>         "tag" : "version3"
>       }
>     }
>   },
>   "components" : [
>     {
>       "href" : "http://aaa:8080/api/v1/services/AMBARI/AMBARI_SERVER",
>       "ServiceComponentInfo" : {
>         "component_name" : "AMBARI_SERVER",
>         "service_name" : "AMBARI"
>       }
>     },
>     {
>       "href" : "http://aaa:8080/api/v1/services/AMBARI/AMBARI_AGENT",
>       "ServiceComponentInfo" : {
>         "component_name" : "AMBARI_AGENT",
>         "service_name" : "AMBARI"
>       }
>     }
>   ]
> }
> {code}
> Some advantages of doing this ...
> 1)  Consistent API.  The API would not really have to change much... no new resource types.
> 2)  Ambari server configuration would be exposed through the existing configuration resource type.  We don't have to explain a new configuration resource to the users.
> 3)  We can support configuration overrides if that makes sense fot the Ambari service.
> 4)  We can include Ambari agent info / properties / overrides if that makes sense.
> Some questions / issues ...
> 1) Does it make sense from the user perspective to see Ambari as a service?
> 2) We need to expose services at the root level since there is only one Ambari service and services are currently only under clusters.
> 3) Do config overrides make sense for the Ambari service?
> 4) Does the version tag part of configurations make sense for the Ambari service?  
> It probably makes sense to make this a read only resource for now.
