I am evaluating Hiera for use in our puppet setup to handle overrides based on facts. Unfortunately the documentation is slim http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15295. I am wondering if it is possible to have multiple hierarchies and be able to choose which hierarchy to use when calling the hiera functions from a module?
My line of thought is that operational concerns for configuring the network/OS/middleware is independent from application environmental concerns. For example when configuring the OS I care if if the node is in the DMZ or a specialized firewall'd network segment. I don't care if the node is going to be used for dev/test/qa/production release path of the applications. The opposite is true when installing applications. I don't care about the network since it should already be setup and the OS services should already just work. I do care if I am in dev/test/qa/production so I can configure the application properly for that environment. So I would like to keep the overrides for network/OS/middleware separate from the application level overrides. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
