The Sahara architecture consists of several components:
* Auth component - responsible for client authentication & authorization, communicates with Keystone
* DAL - Data Access Layer, persists internal models in DB
* Provisioning Engine - component responsible for communication with Nova, Heat, Cinder and Glance
* Vendor Plugins - pluggable mechanism responsible for configuring and launching Hadoop on provisioned VMs;
existing management solutions like Apache Ambari and Cloudera Management Console could be utilized for that matter
* EDP - :doc:`../userdoc/edp` responsible for scheduling and managing Hadoop jobs on clusters provisioned by Sahara
* REST API - exposes Sahara functionality via REST
* Python Sahara Client - similar to other OpenStack components Sahara has its own python client
* Sahara pages - GUI for the Sahara is located on Horizon
