The Cloudera Director Configuration File

Sample configuration files are found either in /usr/lib64/cloudera-director/client or /usr/lib/cloudera-director/client, depending on the operating system you are using. Copy the sample files to your home directory before editing them.

Copy the sample files to your home directory before editing them. Rename the cloud_provider.simple.conf file to cluster.conf. For advanced cluster configuration, use cloud_provider.reference.conf. The configuration file must use the .conf file extension. Open cluster.conf with a text editor.

The cloud_provider.reference.conf version of the configuration file includes advanced settings that are documented in comments within the file itself. Details on the specific settings in the file are not duplicated in this document.
