My Hiera tree is turning into a chaotic mess. I'm guessing that my tree
structure is one problem source. So I'm wondering how other real users have
setup hiera. Here are the core problems that are giving me headaches.
# I need to version control my modules separately but hiera data is
monolithic. If I need to change anything anywhere, I need to release a new
version of the whole tree.
# I can't easily review the final output from hiera within puppet because
the traversal is dependent on facts. I need to feed the facts into Hiera
before I get anything meaningful.
# Can't easily compare the config of two different servers. (really the
same as the previous)
Here's my Hiera tree. I'm very interested to know how others deal with
these issues. Does Puppet Enterprise include Hiera mgmt tools?
- %{environment}/%{project}/%{server_env}/%{module_name}
- %{environment}/%{project}/%{server_env}/common
- %{environment}/%{project}/%{role_name}-role/%{module_name}
- %{environment}/%{project}/%{role_name}-role/common
- %{environment}/%{project}/%{module_name}
- %{environment}/%{location}/%{module_name}
- %{environment}/%{module_name}
- %{environment}/common
NOTES:
Each Environment is a copy of our git repo and includes the hiera tree.
Project, Server_env, Role_name & Location are custom facts
