Have you tried checking out the ports for ambari?
https://ambari.apache.org/1.2.5/installing-hadoop-using-ambari/content/reference_chap2_7.html

Those ports should only be for the web interfaces not the server if your trying to gain connectivity.

For the cli commands you can port forward with this command:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 –proto tcp –dport 12345 -j ACCEPT
found here:

or if you did install SSH then you can specify in this way:

I would have to tinker with you on this project because it dives past my understanding of the sandbox’s connection and the headless ubuntu server. I would have to double check ifconfig and port connections. best of luck, please let me know if I can try and help.
