Ok so for an example I have a module/class that enables apache vhost setup.
In this example I have X web servers that are load balanced and i want to
add all my Y virtual hosts, so working backwards I would want to create a
group called 'web_vhosts', for example, and add to that Y class calls to
the same apache vhost creation class but with different variables ie
servername => "somehost.com"
Or as a more syntax correct manifest:
node somenode {
include apache
apache::vhost {
"my-site":
servername => "my-site.com",
port => 80,
docroot => "/opt/mysite";
"other-site":
servername => "other-site.com",
port => 80,
docroot => "/opt/othersite";
# ETC ETC
}
}
