The great thing about Puppet is that it gives you lots of different ways to
manage your host data. Personally I am a big fan of hiera and its YAML
backend because it is simple for non-Puppet users to understand and allows
them to manage the config without having to write or modify Puppet
manifests

plugin aside, I strongly suggest not settling for YAML as a backend for
Hiera since you're basically ending up with the same problem you were
probably trying to solve; managing data in files. Sure, they're "different"
files but still files. You may as well keep the data in your Puppet
manifests
