Running Cloudera Director Client

After you modify the configuration file, you can run Cloudera Director client. The client can run in standalone mode, or, if you already have a server, you can run the client against the server using the commands bootstrap-remote and terminate-remote. For more information on using the client to deploy clusters on the server, see Submitting a Cluster Configuration File.

  1. From the cluster launcher, enter the following:
    [ec2-user@ip-10-1-1-18 cloudera-director-1.1.0]$ cloudera-director bootstrap aws.conf
