By default, Cloudbreak uses the included prewarmed images with default Ambari and HDP/HDF version, but you can select a different prewarmed or base image to use for your cluster. Cloudbreak supports the following types of images for launching clusters:


Image type	Description	Default images provided	Support for custom images
Prewarmed Image	By default, Cloudbreak launches clusters from prewarmed images. Prewarmed images include the operating system as well as Ambari and HDP/HDF. The Ambari and HDP/HDF version used by prewarmed images cannot be customized.	Yes	No
Base Image	Base images include default configuration and default tooling. These images include the operating system but do not include Ambari or HDP/HDF software. If you would like to use an Ambari and HDP/HDF versions different than what the prewarmed image includes, you must select to use a base image.	Yes	Yes

If you would like to use an Ambari and HDP/HDF versions different than what the prewarmed image includes, you must select to use a base image (instead of a prewarmed image). For instructions on how to customize Ambari and/or HDP/HDF repos, refer to the documentation linked below
