That is where your data hierarchy comes in. You have a level named "ubuntu-common"; it therefore stands to reason that if you have any Windows machines under management then there is also a "windows-common" (even if it's only notional). These would be *alternatives* for a particular level of your hierarchy, and you would select which to use based on node facts. That's precisely what you presently do via the 'case' statement, but you can, and probably should, do it directly in your hierarchy definition. This is one of the primary uses of Hiera interpolation tokens. The Hiera docs for defining a hierarchy <https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.1/hierarchy.html> discuss this and provide an example. (I've linked to the Hiera 3.1 docs, but substantially the same thing applies to older Hiera as well.)
