Setting Up Standalone Ambari Server Compared with Setting Up Operational Ambari Server

Setting up a standalone Ambari Server instance is very similar to setting up an operational Ambari Server instance. Many of the steps are the same, with one key exception: you do not install a cluster using a standalone server instance. A standalone Ambari Server instance does not manage a cluster and does not deploy or communicate with Ambari Agents; instead, a standalone Ambari Server runs as web server instance, serving views for users.

The following table compares the high-level tasks required to set up an operational Ambari Server and a standalone Ambari server:
