I've had some troubles using all-numeric strings ("1234") unquoted in
templates, where they are interpreted as integers. Not that I'm the expert, but
it's worth considering that ruby variables in templates are typed, but puppet
variables in manifests aren't, and will need more care when writing yaml for
templates.
Consider how you'll need to use to_s or to_i in a template:
---
integer: 1234
string: "1234"
$ readyaml /tmp/yaml1
{"integer"=>1234, "string"=>"1234"}
Obviously I'm not the expert, it's just a bit of a pain.
$ cat bin/readyaml
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pp'
require 'yaml'
data = File.read(ARGV[0])
yaml = YAML.load(data)
pp yaml
